"I just want the evidence that will help me with my case," he told reporters outside Auckland High Court yesterday.

The FBI and the Crown have so far refused to disclose the entirety of the evidence to be used against Dotcom, instead providing a 40-page summary document which the defence argues was "cherry-picked" from among over 20 million emails.

Crown lawyer John Pike argued that there was no need for Dotcom to have access because he was not being tried in New Zealand.

The judge in the extradition case needed only to decide if there was a case for him to answer in the US, Pike said, and that question was answered by the record of case.

Pike said to be eligible for disclosure, there was a threshold to be reached, and Dotcom's case did not meet that threshold.
