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."

    That particular torrent site prides itself upon posting all threatening letters from U.S. companies & lawyers and saying how they can get away with it because they're in some European nation or whatever that has no law against what they're doing, but they may find their cocky asses in the U.S. as well in due time.

    Quit telling me how much my country sucks. If you hate us that much, find a /. in France. Go on, boycott /.

    After all, they're an American company with revenues going into the US paid for by banner ads for mostly American companies. /. would have to be included in such a boycott.

    Come on, I dare you.
