When piracy mogul Kim Dotcom was arrested, he used the survaillance footage to make a music video

Whether you love him or hate him, Kim Dotcom is one of the most successful Internet entrepreneurs to date. But, as the founder of piracy site MegaUpload, living at the sharp end of Internet-based business can have it's dangers, especially when you are challenging the livelihood and business model of some of the most powerful industries around.


Eventually conventional law caught up with Dotcom and he was arrested at his New Zealand home in 2012 during a dramatic daytime raid. Dotcom petitioned the arrest and subsequent seizure of assets, eventually winning the case owing to issues with the arrest warrants. Dotcom also won a recent case forcing the police to return most of the items removed from his house during the raid.


He is currently fighting extradition back to America where he would face piracy based charges, but in the meantime he decided to add some salt to the wounds he has already inflicted.


In early 2013, Dotcom released a music video. The video, roughly set to music, splices together footage from CCTV and police cameras taken during the raid.


This must have been just the publicity the police were looking for after the public court snubbing.
