Dotcom lawyer brands US interception of Mega data ‘illegal’

A large trove of electronic communications cited as evidence in the US Department of Justice’s copyright infringement case against Kim Dotcom and his company Megaupload were “illegally” obtained, the lawyer representing the file sharing service claims.

Over the weekend, the US DoJ released a 191 page document [PDF] laying out its evidence in the case against Dotcom and his associates.
