British kid to be extradited for doing things in Britain that happen to be illegal in the US. I'm pretty sure it says he's never even been to the US.

I agree that “ignorance of the law is not an excuse”, but seriously, I think ignorance of the laws of a country you don’t even fucking live in is a decent excuse. By this standard we should all be whisked off to North Korea to be executed for utilizing our free speech.

WTF!

i mean seriously how can they do that?

Well, if the spot about him earning money from advertising these sites is true... ehhhh... he should be punished. By being tried in the US? Maybe not, but making money by showing other people where to steal things is not something an innocent person does.

Well if it's legal there then he shouldn't be.

It is something an innocent person does if its not illegal, which apprently it's not in Britain.

Well, I can't feel bad for a guy who makes money by essentially selling stolen goods to people.

Ok, how about you get extradited to Canada for some obscure clause regarding the MLP link in your signature which doesn't exist in the US, then tell me how you feel.

The whole concept of the US's laws applying to people outside of the US is just bull. Why don't they just replace the UK's governing system with the US's because obviously the UK doesn't seem to need one now that the US can just enforce its laws overseas.

Well, it doesn't exist, so yeah... and besides, Hasbro is based in the US.

Let me put it this way. Apparently, it's not illegal by British law for this guy to be extradited to the US for something that is illegal over here.

The court heard that his website, TVShack.net, was earning £15,000 a month from advertising revenue.

Terry I agree it's kind of bullshit to be extradited for it.

On the other hand that quote from the article above basically says he's the worst kind of pirate and he deserves it. He's making a ton of money off of stolen goods. Fuck im'... give him the chair.

I didn't pirate my signature, nor am I profiting from it. Ergo, I am in essence innocent. So yes, I'd be slightly miffed. But then I'd phone the Serbian Embassy for an nationalistic extradition and lie back with a can of cola.

I think our government should be working on capturing real criminals like serial killers, rapists, etc that are in our own country...

I agree that the guy shouldn't be extradited, US law shouldn't apply in the UK.

ThePirateBay is illegal in the US but legal in Sweden. US law can't get it shut down.

Well, it doesn't exist, so yeah...

That's the point of a hypothetical situation.

Let me put it this way. Apparently, it's not illegal by British law for this guy to be extradited to the US for something that is illegal over here.

Oh, so UK citizens should just read up on every law in the world in case they're violating one somewhere? Bullshit, the UK needs to have its own laws and the US needs to have its own laws. I don't care if they just make them the same, but yanking people overseas to answer for things that aren't illegal in the own country is the kind of evil empire stuff that is just scary.

There's a similiar case going on in India over Google and Facebook not taking down things that are offensive to the Indian government. This sounds so much MORE like bullshit to us because those things aren't illegal here, how would you like for India to yank you over there and give you life in prison for something like that?

Of course, India will not actually get its way because they don't have the power that the US has.

I agree that he's a bad pirate, but he's also the UK's responsibility and he shouldn't have to study up on every the laws of every country the UK won't stand up to. not to mention he's not doing anything but collecting a bunch of links he probably found on google and sticking them on a page with advertisements.

Seems like they could just send in a Seal team into Sweden to kill everybody at Piratebay.

Yeah, like I said that part is bullshit. However it's hard to care or take his side because, from what little info we have, he seems to deserve it.

Oh good, you know the rules for your own country. As long as you're not making money off of it, you're fine, right? Oh wait, some other country has a law against ____ and now you're going to serve 10 years for it.

Except neither of those examples are under federal jurisdiction (except in certain situations). Why would the US government go about investigating things that are not their problem?

Thats like getting extradited for banging a 16 year old american girl in NZ

I mean our Legal Sex age is 16 but in some places over there its like 18

You shouldnt get extradited to other countrys especially for things that are legal in your own thats just fucking stupid

Yeah that is bullshit. Sure he's making money, but if it's legal where he lives, it's legal. The law is the law, right?

I'm surprised the British gov't doesn't just tell the American gov't to fuck off here instead of letting them be the world police.

Yes and the law says it's legal for the US to extradite him. It works both ways.

It's clear what the laws says because this is actually happening, it doesn't change how stupid the premise of the law is.

Have you guys been to his website by the way?

It doesn't even host any pirated videos. Just links to sites that do. Kind of like every single search engine.

If they want to cut down on piracy, prosecute the websites that are actually hosting it.
