This is a fucking joke, why do whatever Americans doing this think they have any right . Essentially he's created a website that merges lots of video hosting sites together, so you have access to them all on one(I think). Exactly like Google does but more localized. And now he's most likely going to be extradited to America, which is complete bs, America should have no power at all with this.

Well, because we believe that people have a right to be paid for what they do. I know many other countries disagree with this due to their ridiculous tax rates

That's an odd response, but he hasn't actually done anything wrong, he just linked to various sites, why not go after the actual sites that are breaking your laws. My point is you don't control the world, YOUR laws only apply in your own country.

That doesn't make any sense. How can you get extradited for something based on another countries laws. If I sell crack in a county that's legal, or fuck someone who's 16 in a country that's legal, I shouldn't be able to get extradited to a country where it isn't so that I can be brought up on charges in a country where it didn't take place.


Sounds like some more muscle flexing.
