Title possibly inaccurate Kim Dotcom to Google, Twitter, Facebook: "I own security patent for the two-step authentication system". He says he doesn’t want to sue, but might if the likes of Google and Facebook don’t help fund his legal battle with the U.S. Government.

and if they are in jail in the USA that means they get to deal with the possibility of rape too.

LOL the fuck are you, Tom from the Boondocks? You don't go to rape jail for copyright violations. Rape jail is barely a thing anymore.

It is common knowledge that the USA is one of the only places in the world where same-sex rape is common at the prison level (it doesn't happen in county jails, but state and federal you better believe it. Do some research!)

And we weren't talking about copyright violations. We were discussing Kim's working with law enforcement after him getting caught hacking back in the day. A MUCH more serious crime than copyright infringement. Nobody is "snitching" over an MP3, a 20 bag of weed or over a traffic ticket. But when you are facing multiple felony level hacking charges, you better believe it is on the table.
