World's First Warez Extradition Decided Soon

An anonymous reader writes "An Australian Court will soon determine whether US Law should reign supreme in copyright infringement cases that occur online. According to this article, a decision will be made in two weeks as to whether Hew Raymond Griffiths, also known as "Bandido", will be extradited from Australia to the US for running the warez group DOD. Slashdot has in the past interviewed one of Bandido's co-conspirators in the US, who was sentenced to hard time - but the question is, if Griffiths committed no crime in his home country, should the US be allowed to hijack .au laws?

    ***Here are some of the imdb.com reviews for "Gay Niggers From Outer Space":

    Summary: The best homosexual racial minority sci-fi film ever.

    "Morten Lindbergs classic cult short, Gay Niggers From Outer Space is one of
    the first short films to really stick to what the title suggests. From the
    time the first gay nigger walked onto the screen up until the final intense
    climax with the Tourette's Syndrome Kingdom in Outer Space, it's filled with
    dark comedy, action and plenty of suspense. "

    "Gay Niggers from Outer Space is a masterpiece of a film. No other film
    portraits emotions as majestically and stunningly since The Legend of Nigger
    Charley and Home Alone II. With a cast of all-star African niggers and a
    director with Kubrick potential, it is no wonder that Gay Niggers from Outer
    Space is marked the greatest film of all time."

    "From the very first scene where Gay Nigger Harris throws up on his own face
    and commits suicide, to the climactic scene where Nigger Ralph Nader and
    Nigger Humphrey Bogart fight over the last hashbrown and pick cotton til
    their noses bleed, Gay Niggers from Outer Space is the most magical
    portrayal of gay niggers open to the public."

    ***However, no mention is made of the hazadous lifestyle of gay niggers,
    so the following is an attempt to explain those hazards in layman's terms:

    Despite cries to the contrary in the media, AIDS is still primarily a gay
    and black disease. The media loves to report the "growing epidemic" among
    whites, when in fact the rate of infection among heterosexual whites is
    dropping off significantly year by year. The media though, reports only the
    TOTAL current infection rate, not the RELATIVE. So while there are more
    cases each year, the RATE of infection is dropping quickly. Except for the
    gay/nigger communities, where it's skyrocketing.

    Why does AIDS seem to target gays and niggers so much more so than whites
    and straights? Anal sex. The anus was not designed to accommodate vigorous
    penetration as occurs in anal sex. Unlike the vagina, the anus has very
    delicate membranes, which damage easily. Couple that with the fact that
    sperm contains immune system suppressing chemicals. That's why the sperm is
    not treated as a foreign protein in the vagina...because of the immune
    suppressing effects of the sperm cells. Without this effect, pregnancy
    could not occur, as the sperm would be attacked as a foreign protein.

    In the anus, sperm has the same immune suppressing effect. During anal sex,
    the anal wall is torn and open lesions form. Because there is little if any
    sensory nerve endings in the anus, this damage often goes unnoticed. The
    sperm then induce their immune suppressing effect, and the stage is set.
    Various bacteria both beneficial and infectious dwell in the colon, as well
    as viral matter. When the anus is ripped open, exposing the blood to the
    immune suppressing chemicals in the sperm, and the viral matter passed
    along with it, infection is virtually assured.

    ***So does the skyrocketing rate of AIDS infection mean that there are
    skyrocketing rates of gay niggers???

    ***Not exactly, because most White people don't realize that a large
    percentage of nigger males are bisexual. It's a great irony considering all
    of their macho posturing and affectations. They tend to admire the male
    physique, and when no women are present, they will hip-hop dance with each
    other. Any port in a storm will do, because da' brotha's just gots ta
    have it!!! Then they pass along the virus to their wives, girlfriends, and
    family members.

    Heh... I live in the US and can't vote either, but that's not the issue.

    The fact is that this guy has broken internationally agreed copyright laws, at the very least. So, the government that he presumably can vote for has traded his "right" to immunity against prosecution for reciprocal rights. I.e. If an US citizen trampled all over an Australian software company's copyrights, then AU would have some hope of extraditing him for trial.

    Of course, if it was a US citizen illegally distributing Australian software, that would be just perfectly OK, wouldn't it?

    Even if the Internet doesn't lead to a world gov't we will still wind up with one. The Bible says we will have one where the anti-christ is the world leader. The question is not if we will have world gov't but when and by what means. We've had more wars since the UN came into existence than any time prior to the UN but people think the UN is the best thing since sliced bread. It's just another stepping stone to the world gov't.
