usefool writes "After the U.S.'s first extradition request against an Australian man was denied, the U.S. appealed that decision and has now won the right to try Hew Raymond Griffiths in the U.S."

Why should someone who commits crimes against someone in another country not be held liable for those crimes simply because of geographic boundaires? Now you can argue about the defenition of crime in relation to warez until you're blue in the face, but I'm not going to tread there...
If you're not going to listen to his answer, why in the fuck did you ask the question?

yes, and twice as many times people check on slashdot during the day....
Timmy and Michael both suck. Michael and his 'Hey everyone look at Australia!' stories and Tim with his 'Hey everyone look at the UK!' stories.
It's "you're" you stupid fuckstick. Take third grade English some time, assfuck.
Welcome to the internet. You might want to take some sedatives before surfing any further; if occasional typos upset you that much you'll have a coronary soon enough.
I apologize for not being able to tell you all this in person the way I ought to, but even telling you all this way is almost more than I can bear. I am gay.
This is not a joke, or any kind of a prank. I know that I've kidded around about this before, but it was all just a way to mask my true feelings.
I am gay, and I have been gay since Junior High. I'm sorry that I decieved all of you, I guess I just didn't have the courage to come out and say what I'm sure a lot of you have always suspected.
Well, that time is over. I'm gay, and I'm proud to be gay. I know that some of you will not want to talk to me after this, and I'm sorry if that's your choice.
I hope I can count on the support of my true friends during this difficult period. I am in love with a wonderful man, and we are very happy together, and I hope you can all be happy for me too.
Sincerely,
CowboyNeal

You think things are gonna get better under Labor??? You are fooling yourself. Labor sold out to corporate money long ago. If you want real change vote for a minor party - greens, socialist alliance, one nation even.
wow.. you must feel amazing, being so much more powerful than us.. little Australia.. with ONE FIFTEENTH OF YOUR POPULATION, and has been around as a nation for what..? off the top of my head 100 years less.. note to all americans with this guys attitude... get your head out of your arse before you suffocate.

Seriously, why is this in YRO? An Australian citizen broke international law in a way that affected US businesses, the US applies for extradition, Australia complies. Seems simple enough to me - or is it bad because it's white-collar crime, which some of us might get caught for one day?
It's official. Most of you are morons.
Because he's pirating US code? Are you saying anyone in australia should be allowed to violate the GPL and produce their own closed linux fork because its not illegal there due to copyright laws? (Bad example, russia would be a better one, but to stay on topic..)
Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
And you wonder why some people hate you.
Not that I have much sympathy with the guy in question, he should be punished for what he did.
I don't hate America, but I don't want to live there nor do I want them to rule the world. I could not live with your version of freedom.
On the flipside, it would be interesting to see Americans extradited to another country for crimes committed (e.g. sex tourists, stealing, ...). My impression is that the DOJ will use every trick in the book to make sure Americans are not extradited. People of other countries committing crimes in the US aren't always so lucky.
On the same count, Dubya, & Co. , should be tried in an international court for War Crimes and for mistreating Iraqis and waging War on false pretexts and responsible for sending 1,000 fine young americans to their deaths.
