Kim Dotcom: Joe Biden behind shutdown
Kim Dotcom says the shutdown of his Megaupload filesharing service was ordered by the White House after Hollywood studio executives met with US Vice President Joe Biden.
The meetings are revealed in publicly released White House logs which show some of the most powerful figures in Hollywood met with studio bosses about six months before the January raids which led to the arrest of Dotcom and three of his Megaupload colleagues.
The claim comes just days ahead of the release of Dotcom's first music single titled Mr President. The song is about the shutdown of his website and is directly aimed at US President Barack Obama. It also comes the day Dotcom heads back to court for a judicial review into an order the FBI produce evidence against him for the extradition hearing, which is scheduled for August 6.
