Time to face the music?: Dotcom's days of evading the long arm of the law may finally be at an end.

WELLINGTON/SYDNEY: Nearly four years after dozens of black-clad police rappelled into his New Zealand mansion and cut him from a safe room, flamboyant German tech entrepreneur and would-be hip-hop star Kim Dotcom may finally be about to face the music. 

A New Zealand court hearing starting on Sept 21 will determine whether Dotcom will face charges of copyright infringement, racketeering and money laundering in the United States related to the Megaupload file-sharing site he founded in 2005.
