Chesterfield lad, Richard O’Dwyer, is to appear in court tomorrow (Friday) to fight his extradition to the US.
His crime? He hasn't committed any in the UK...
But the Yank nutters have decided they didn't like that he linked to sites they considered illegal and want him to be extradited to the US...
As I said in my blog last June when it first kicked off, "If Richard had done something wrong, he should be charged and tried in the UK."
As Richard did not reproduce or distribute copyrighted material, he merely linked to other sites that did, it would appear that he has committed no crime. In fact, in a similar case in 2007, Cheltenham computer engineer David Rock was arrested for running a website that offered links to sites containing pirated films and TV shows – the case was dismissed.
Good luck to him and Ya Boo Sucks to the great Satan.
