The Kim Dotcom extradition appeal is now under way (https://torrentfreak.com/dotcom-extradition-appeal-gets-underway-160829/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter), with the first question being whether or not the courtroom drama could be livestreamed on the internet (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-newzealand-internet-dotcom-idUSKCN1140DR) for a global public to watch. The request was originally made by Kim Dotcom and his lawyers, but the lawyers for the US government opposed... because... well, just because.


"US defends mass surveillance programs with 'If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear' but opposes live streaming of my hearing," Dotcom, who attended some of the hearing, said on Twitter.


Honestly, it's not at all clear why the government lawyers are opposing this other than to just oppose stuff and be generally obstructionist. However, it doesn't appear to have worked. A little while ago, Dotcom's lawyer Ira Rothken announced that the court had agreed to allow live streaming (https://twitter.com/rothken/status/770386768596131840):https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160829/15440235387/new-zealand-court-grants-kim-dotcoms-request-to-have-extradition-hearing-livestreamed-youtube-despite-doj-protests.shtml
