On Friday, Kim Dotcom, co-founder of Megaupload.com, was detained by the FBI at his house in New Zealand after having to be cut out of a safe-room in his basement. He faces counts in piracy as his website was used for illegal sharing of copyrighted material. Megaupload allowed people to upload files to their servers and then download them from anywhere in the world. People have been uploading pirated materials to the site for a while now and caused the taking down of the site. Dotcom was not allowed to post bail as the judge feared he may attempt to flee the country as he has many known alias'.
