US Government Seeks Extradition of UK Student For File-Sharing

Gimble writes "The BBC reports that UK student Richard O'Dwyer has lost a legal battle to block his extradition to the U.S., where he faces copyright infringement charges for running a file sharing site (ruling). O'Dwyer operated the site 'TV-Shack' from 2007 until 2010, which didn't offer any files itself, but posted links to streams and files hosted elsewhere. O'Dwyer was first arrested in June last year by British police acting on information from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The domestic investigation was subsequently dropped, but Mr. O'Dwyer was re-arrested in May on an extradition warrant to face charges in America."

stop giving that shit over and over to us. u.s. has not been 'capitalist' over a century. and what was it before ? capitalist ? so, 12 people, who you can identify by name, owning almost entirety of the economic activity in a country, is better ? vanderbilt to rockefeller. one dominates newspapers/media, other railroads, the other steel ------ so 12 fucking people basically OWN everything. so, when there was REAL capitalism, your country ended up being owned by 10-12 people.

and you are trying to sell us THAT, based on the shitty assumption of the present situation being bad ?

excuse me buddy, but take your 'real capitalism', and shove it up your ass. at least, now entire country is owned through proxy corporations, shareholderships in big funds, therefore giving the ILLUSION of being a participatory, pluralist economy. back 100 years ago, the 12 owners were directly owning and running everything. really. shove it up in your ass.

YOURS is a misconception.
