it looks like Kim dotcom was not the only one breaking the law :doh
New Zealand intelligence agency admits Kim Dotcom snooping was illegal
One of New Zealand's intelligence agencies spied on Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom after it was given erroneous information on his immigration status, believing he was a foreign national.
A memorandum filed with Auckland's High Court by the Crown Law Office, released on Tuesday by the court, explained the mixup that caused New Zealand prime minister John Key to express "disappointment that unlawful acts had taken place."
Key called for an inquiry on Monday on why the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB), which handles signals intelligence, intercepted communications prior to the arrest of Dotcom and his Megaupload colleagues in January.
