DrinkOrDie Warez Trader to be Extradited to U.S.

Posted by timothy on from the innocent-like-a-newborn-baby dept.

femto writes "Hew Raymond Griffiths, alleged to be one of the leaders of the warez group DrinkOrDie, is to be extradited to the United States after losing an appeal. The case is of interest as the appeal was based on the fact that during the offences, alleged to have been committed in the US, the accused did not leave Australia."

    Honestly - take your anti-American wannabe terrorist bullshit and go fuck yourself.

    But even more honestly - nobody in America has a favorite soccer player.
