Default Sheffield Student TV file sharer facing extradition to America


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."
