Student Richard O'Dwyer ran the TVShack website


He is Guilty
100%.



"A British university student faces being extradited
to the United States for hosting a website which
provided links to downloadable pirated films and TV shows.
Undergraduate Richard O'Dwyer, a student at
Sheffield Hallam University, was arrested late last month
and is accused of criminal copyright infringement by U.S authorities.
The 23-year-old could now be extradited to America to face trial there,
in a case echoing that of Gary McKinnon, the computer hacker
who has spent years fighting U.S. extradition.
Mr O'Dwyer, who lives in student accommodation
in Sheffield city centre, was first visited by U.S. officials last year
when he ran the site TVShack."

Free trip to America

Obviously, he admitted to hosting the links.

I doubt they'll manage to extradite him, I think it's quite a difficult thing to get one to stick. I guess he'll just have to avoid America as a holiday destination in future.

It could be the Landmatk case
its Criminals like him that costs jobs.

America needs to back off with all the extradition orders as far as im concerned im a citizen of the uk and subject to the laws of this land if i break them and get caught i expect to be dealt with and punished according to uk law not the yanks laws.

The yanks are abusing the extradition process to try and make everybody in the world answerable to their goverment and laws talk about power crazy!
Its about time our goverment stood up to them and just said no.

I probably break the law of dozens of countrys every single day but you dont see them being arrogant enough to try and apply their laws to citizens of other countrys it really bloody gets my goat!!!
