Jimmy Wales Calls UK Government To Halt O'Dwyer Extradition

Posted by samzenpus on from the keeping-it-in-house dept.

judgecorp writes "Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has called on the UK government to stop the extradition of Richard O'Dwyer. O'Dwyer was accused of infringing copyright with his site TVShack, but charges were dismissed in the UK. Wales has set up a petition and calls this the start of a new 'Internet war' following the successful opposition to SOPA earlier this year."

    Sounds like a good plan for people in starving nations. Just need the means to setup an infringing website and boom! 3 hots and a cot, education, conjugal visits. America, fuck yeah!
