The founder of file-sharing website Megaupload, Kim Dotcom, is “prepared to fight to get justice” after New Zealand’s Court of Appeal ruled Thursday he should be extradited to the U.S.

That was the position given after he and three former Megaupload staffers— Mathias Ortmann, Bram van der Kolk and Finn Batato—lost their latest bid against being sent to the U.S. There they would face charges linked to his former website, which was shuttered back in 2012 amid U.S. accusations that it was facilitating major copyright crimes. German-born Kim Dotcom denies the allegations against him.
