A 23-year-old British student, who is a tv-linksite managed, has protested against extradition to the United States. The website of the student hostte itself is not a punishable material, but still threatens the Briton to be extradited.

According to the lawyer of O’dwyer is different his website, not a search engine like Google and Yahoo, which are also content to link to. The US did not agree, because the website specifically would be set up in order to illegal content to search. The mother of the student will find that he is in his own country must be brought to justice, reports the BBC.

The United States accuse the 23-year-old British student, Richard O’dwyer of auteursrechteninbreuk, because he was a tv-linksite managed. On that site were links to episodes of tv shows, but although the sites to which reference was made more often than not, infringed on the copyright, hostte O’dwyer is not itself a content.

Still threatens the student to be extradited to the United States, while it is by no means certain that his actions in his home country are punishable. Last year was someone in a similar case acquitted. In the United States can O’Dwyer will be sentenced to a prison sentence of up to five years.
