Finn Batato was facing decades in jail on charges of mass copyright violation as part of the Megaupload case. In this exclusive interview for the 10th anniversary of the FBI-inspired raid, Batato talks about how he's been dropped from the extradition case because he's swapped a life sentence for a death sentence.
