The criminal charges against Kim Dotcom in the United States may never get to trial, the judge overseeing the case has told the FBI.

United States district court judge Liam O'Grady said he didn't know if "we are ever going to have a trial in this matter" after being told Dotcom's file-sharing company had never been formally served with criminal papers by the US.

The MPAA petitioned the court yesterday to block MegaUpload's efforts to purchase its servers back from the cash-strapped hosting company, Carpathia on fears that the file sharing service would restart off-shore.

Carpathia is losing about $9000 a day holding MegaUpload's data and has petitioned the court for financial relief. Specifically Carpathia has asked to be allowed to sell the servers back to MegaUpload—not just the 25 Petabytes of data, the physical servers themselves.

In another twist to the saga that has become the Megaupload case, a New Zealand High Court judge has since ruled that the court order used to seize Kim Dotcom's assets is null and void due to the NZ police using the wrong "type" of legal document when conducting the raids on Dotcom's assets.

Megaupload: Some accounts belonged to US officials

Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom says not all of the file-sharing site's users were what some might imagine them to be: Crooks sitting in dark rooms, selling pirated movies, TV shows and music. 

In fact, Dotcom contends, "a large number" of customers are from the U.S. government -- the very same folks prosecuting him in what may be one of the biggest copyright cases in history.

Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom is due to appear in Auckland High Court on Tuesday morning as representatives of the US government appeal a ruling that set him free on bail last week.

Dotcom was granted bail on the conditions that he wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, stay at his rented mansion outside of Auckland and not access the internet.
