The extradition hearing of rotund web baron Kim Dotcom finally ended Tuesday, having taken three times longer than expected.

Tweeting on the last day of the ten-week hearing in Auckland, New Zealand, Dotcom railed: "My defense team has shown how utterly unreliable, malicious, and unethical the US case against me is. They have exposed a dirty ugly bully."

Megaupload was an ISP, defense lawyer Ron Mansfield argued, and was protected by safe harbor provisions. So if the judge overrules that provision, it would force ISPs to consider possible criminal liability for their users' actions.
