Departures with Robert Amsterdam


May 20, 2020

Kim Dotcom is no stranger to lockdowns.

For more than 8 years, the Megaupload founder and tech entrepreneur has been fighting an extradition request to New Zealand from the United States following an over-the-top FBI raid on his home in 2012 ... bizarrely over accusations of third-party copyright infringement.

Robert Amsterdam, whose firm has provided counsel to Dotcom's defense team, speaks with Kim about the current status of the case, asks his opinions on the most important emerging technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence, and debates what role technology will play in the post-pandemic world as much of us shift toward the work-from-home model.
