An anonymous reader writes "After spending nearly 3 years in a detention center fighting his extradition from Australia, a leader of notorious warez group 'DrinkorDie' was yesterday arraigned before a U.S. District Court to face charges of conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement and one count of actual criminal copyright infringement. If found guilty he faces 10 years in jail & a $500,000 fine."

To hate the yank fucking judicial system

I hope one day that some sorta 24 scenario happens in Yankland and "Y'all" die (cept the cool Yanks of which , on the internet at least, are few and far between)

Then the world could get on with being a normal community

In point of fact, the US does extradite criminals to other nations. Duane Chapman is a recent high-profile example, looking at a long term in a Mexican jail (ouch). Italy is not requesting extradition in this case. It's a messy enough case as it is, and I wouldn't place a bet that Italian intelligence operatives will recieve any punishment for actions they took in Italy.

Europe also doesn't always extradite criminals to the US, for instance in cases where capital punishment is a possibility, or in cases of a middle aged celebrity who visited the US, loaded a thirteen year old girl up on alcohol and quaaludes, and then raped her in the ass.
