New Zealand's High Court ruled Monday that Kim Dotcom was eligible for extradition to the United States over online piracy allegations linked to his now-defunct Megaupload web empire.

Dotcom’s legal team immediately vowed to appeal the decision and maintain their long-running fight against extradition. DM
