Detailed testimony from the FBI's "inside man" in the Megaupload case has been released, with evidence from within the company about how copyright rules were broken, according to court documents.
Former Megaupload programmer Andrus Nomm told the FBI "his co-conspirators were aware that they were making money directly from reproducing and distributing copyright infringing content".
The details are now able to be reported after a decision in the extradition case of Kim Dotcom and three others triggered the release of court documents filed by the United States.
Nomm has just been released from a US federal prison after serving less than a year in prison after making a plea deal to testify against his former colleagues at Megaupload.
The programmer was the lowest paid and most junior of those indicted, earning $80,000 a year at the time of the raid.
