Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom was granted bail in Aukland, New Zealand today, after a judge determined that the funds he could use to flee the country had been seized by authorities.

John Jurgensen from the Wall Street Journal tells Brent the fascinating backstory to how this film got made.

Similar laws have been on the books in the UK and US for over a decade.
The University of Victoria's Christopher Parsons has studied their impact and shares his findings with Day 6.
