Sad. I have mixed feelings about pardon powers but hope it is used here.

What's absolutely crazy is this guy is facing 30 - 150 years in prison, while in the same 14-year time-frame he's fought extradition major tech companies have willfully committed much broader copyright infringement like torrenting materials to train AI, and made more money than Dotcom ever did by cheaping out on policing their distribution platforms for videos, apps and ebooks allowing copyright infringement and much worse to flourish, yet they have virtually no liability at all for it!
