| Hollywood studios will be left behind by the likes of Netflix after failing to embrace the internet, according to the man accused of the biggest movie copyright infringement in US history.
"If Hollywood had some smart people working for them, they would probably have the biggest internet company on the planet," Kim Dotcom, who's facing extradition from New Zealand to the US, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television in his Auckland mansion. "Instead, it's companies like Apple and Netflix that steal their thunder and this opportunity to monetise the power of the internet. They completely missed the train."
The US government accuses Dotcom of piracy, money laundering, racketeering and wire fraud through his file-sharing website Megaupload.com, which was closed after an armed police raid on his home in 2012. The German entrepreneur, who faces as long as 88 years in US prison if extradited and convicted, said he did everything he could to prevent pirates using his website and shouldn't be held responsible for their actions.
