The Internet Party hopes to team up with Hone Harawira and other electorate MPs to spend more than $1 million fighting this year's election - but as they go live this week, few people have heard of them, and nobody knows what they stand for.

Internet mogul Kim Dotcom claims he has signed up one sitting MP to join his new party before the election and is talking to three more

Internet mogul Kim Dotcom says he will not give up fighting his extradition battle against the United States despite the case suffering a major blow this morning.

The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by Kim Dotcom's lawyers to access all FBI investigation files on him ahead of his extradition hearing.

Kim Dotcom has taken High Court action to stop his former bodyguard from speaking publicly about goings-on in the internet entrepreneur's personal life and business dealings.

Kim Dotcom and Len Brown are linked by several personal characteristics. Both are showmen. Both are prone to vanity. Both hate being out of the limelight.

Kim Dotcom's lawyers and the Crown are both considering appealing aspects of a Court of Appeal ruling that search warrants on Dotcom's Coatesville mansion were valid.

Several comparisons come to mind while observing the unedifying spectacle of politicians lining up to ingratiate themselves with Kim Dotcom.

Prime Minister John Key has hinted his tip-off about NZ First leader Winston Peter's visits to the Dotcom mansion came from blogger Cameron Slater.

In a slap to all the non-believers questioning her age, 17-year-old pop star Lorde posted a revealing selfie this week that has silenced the sceptics.

Editorial: Kim Dotcom is in danger of losing his mojo. He's gone from swaggering tycoon to Enemy of the State(s) to popular icon to political wrecking ball.

Winston Peters said he believes Kim Dotcom is telling the truth in claiming the Prime Minister knew about him well before the day before the raid on his mansion.

A lot is resting on the success of TV3's cooking show The Great Food Race, so channel bosses are remaining optimistic, writes John Drinnan.

An angry Kim Dotcom has labelled the Prime Minister a "spin master" after discovering potential evidence in the upcoming $6 million damages hearing has been deleted.

With Dotcom's foray into politics suggesting that anything is possible in the wacky world of MMP, rumours now abound that I'm standing for Epsom. I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of a new political entity to be known as "The Whatever Party".

Herald journalist David Fisher has refused to release documents related to Kim Dotcom after a request by Crown Law, which is defending police and the Government's spy agency against a $6 million compensation claim by the internet entrepreneur.

John Drinnan looks at media coverage of Kim Dotcom and comments by the head of the Copyright Council saying reporting of the millionaire and businessman needs to be "more robust".

Lawyers acting for the police and the GCSB have requested recordings and transcripts made by the author of a book about Kim Dotcom.

Prime Minister John Key has dismissed Kim Dotcom and his planned Internet Party putting it in the same category as the McGillicuddy Serious Party or the Bill and Ben Party.

I'd wager that the PR hacks of the established political parties are looking at the media scrum surrounding Kim Dotcom's political party with envy, writes Pat Pilcher.
