Kim Dotcom has been granted permission to livestream his appeal against extradition to the United States on YouTube.

Dotcom will provide his own camera, instead of piggybacking off a feed shared by MediaWorks and TVNZ.

The livestream will be delayed by 20 minutes, and all copies of the footage will need to be removed from the internet at the end of the trial. Chat features, including comments, will also have to be disabled on the feed.
