"Caught" provides a fascinating albeit extreme illustration of the intersection between fame, greed, copyright and technology in the internet age.

Hammer to Nail

New Zealand Director Annie Goldson ... constructs a brilliant procedural thriller, filled with sharp commentary from a slew of talking-head experts.

Interesting and well-made profile of the very odd former hacker, a German with an ego the size of his belly, who infamously set up a file-sharing internet site - Megaupload - which was pursued by Hollywood and the FBI after it was accused of promoting piracy. By the end of the documentary Dotcom has separated from his wife and lost millions trying to oust John Key in the New Zealand general election. In the era of Trump and Assange, this is sure to be only a temporary setback.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It was a very informative expose.I love these types of documentaries. It gives insight into surveillance that can at times be conducted in an illegal manner. It showed how some politicians can be untruthful and use any and all means at their disposal to charge , extradite and incarcerate people. Good stuff. The guy is a criminal , but thed issue goes way beyond that.
