As for the extradition story... Although no laws were being broken in the UK, this person - unless he is a fool - knew that he was breaching copyright somewhere. Having said that, the UK is far too eager to comply with American requests for extradition while the Americans themselves have no such compunction to be as compliant by handing over people to other countries. Do you think that if the Italians ever get their act together and demand the extradition of Amanda Knox, the Americans will ever hand her over? We should tell them to do one.
I think the link between the two stories is a little tenuous.

I break the law somewhere every day i live and breath as does just about everyone.
To call it tenuous is dismissing your own belief. I live under the law of this country and do my best to abide by its laws what right does another country have to start extraditing law abiding citizens of another country?
Ok would you be happy to be extradited to saudi arabia for drinking alcohol? would you be happy to be extradited to france for selling a doll that didnt have a human face or extradited to portugal for peeing in the ocean?
No you wouldnt but all these things are illegal according to their laws but you arent expected to live by those laws so why live by americas??
