You bet me to it. IMO, this is a two fingers from Kim Dotcom to the US 
government, and a PR stunt to garner support from his new host country of New 
Zealand. 

He feels hard done-by (and he has a point). It's a PirateBay.org style campaign 
and will probably be resonably successful.

The best outcome possible is to point out the issues with it (as is being 
done), explain why they are important, and hammer those messages through in the 
media. Those messages will miss some people (as they will only see "free and 
secure"), but that's always the way.
