'If KickassTorrents is a Criminal Operation, Google Should Start Worrying' (torrentfreak.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Polish authorities have extended the arrest of Artem Vaulin, the alleged owner of KickassTorrents. His defense team is currently preparing to fight the U.S. extradition request, which will start next month. According to Artem's U.S. lawyer, operating a torrent site is not a criminal offense. "In fact, in my opinion operating an index search engine cannot constitute a crime in the United States because secondary infringement is not criminalized under US law. If KickassTorrents is a criminal operation, then Google should start worrying," Gurvits says

Artem Vaulin is Ukranian, idiot. Therefore "When a citizen (in the least polite terms) of a two bit third world country where corruption is open and rampant [...]" is referring to Ukraine, not Poland.
As a Pole, it's always nice to see my countrymen keeping the 'Polish are dumb' meme alive via demonstration.
