Alleged KickassTorrents Owner Considers 'Voluntary Surrender' To the US (torrentfreak.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TorrentFreak: Earlier this year a Polish court ruled that Artem Vaulin, the alleged owner of the defunct torrent site KickassTorrents, can be extradited to the United States. The decision came as a disappointment to the defense team, which quickly announced an appeal. Vaulin has since been released on bail and currently resides in a Warsaw apartment. His release has made it easier to communicate with his attorneys in the United States, who have started negotiations with the U.S. Government. While the extradition appeal is still ongoing, it now appears that under the right conditions Vaulin might consider traveling to the United States voluntarily, so he can "resolve" the pending charges. This is what the defense team states in a motion for a status conference (pdf), which was submitted earlier this week.

First, copyright law was imposed on the world largely because Europeans wanted that, so don't blame US corporations for that.

Now, the guy violated laws that both the US and European nations agreed to by treaty; what exactly do you want to happen?
