Justice Helen Winklemann said that the defence team needed access to the evidence ahead of the extradition hearing, due in March.

Mr Dotcom denies FBI claims he copied and distributed music, films and other content on a huge scale.

Following his arrest in January the case has been beset by delays. In June a judge ruled that the warrant for the initial raid on his mansion and the way evidence was seized were illegal.

Any kind of delays in the extradition of Dotcom work against the US government's already tenuous case.

1. Hasn't it been ascertained that the FBI doesn't need no stinking evidence anymore?!

Mr. Dotcom? Seriously?

2. The FBI wants other nations to think that, anyway.

"Mr. Dotcom"? Heh, heh- tell me about it! The guy has more than a little of the Larry Flynt to him. Both in penchant for spectacle and long-memoried vengeance.

3. I think they want other countries, and us, to believe it. TIA lives. There is a sign around here

that reads, "Peter Hardener and Sons". It cracked me up at 13, and frankly, it still does at 54!
