Default Student faces extradition

Student faces extradition to US over TV website - Telegraph

I was shocked to read this someone getting arrested and facing extradition for having links to bad websites on their own - no copyright breaching material himself!

Blimey, does seem a bit extreme.

Serious lack of common sense though, after his URL gets siezed, he moves his content to a new one... hmm not the sharpest tool in the box

Reporters don't always allow the truth to get in the way of a good story -if the facts about this student and his behaviour are as given, though, it's difficult to see how our police could justify putting him in handcuffs or making him spend the night in prison.

I was told by a police officer going for promotion that police law enforcement behaviour has to be "proportionate" - if it isn't, the police officers concerned may be infringing Human Rights legislation. Perhaps this student could take up the issue with any friends studying law!

You can download pirated films and TV shows from .... Link removed as we don't want sjr4x4 to be arrested for running a website linking to pirated materials. lol
Very sad. Brave and at the same time stupid guy though.

I think these were the actions that angered the US most. Shows clearly no remorse to me. What are others thoughts?
