Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom is out on bail

He is not allowed to access the Internet, if he wants to travel he is required to give police 24 hours notice, and even at the time he can only travel a maximum of 80km away from his home. And the final stipulation: no helicopters are allowed to land at his home.

Dotcom now has a battle to fight in order to block an extradition to the U.S. where he will face copyright infringement, money laundering, and racketeering charges. His defense is made more difficult because of his lack of Internet access. To all appearances he has a defense team in the U.S., but evidently can’t communicate with them via VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), email, or IM–services we have all come to rely on for long-distance communication.
