A 23-year-old British student, who is a tv-linksite managed, should be extradited to the United States, the British court ruled. The student hostte itself is not a punishable material, but linked only to downloads.
Student Richard O’dwyer was still in an appeal against extradition, but to no avail, reports the BBC. In the United States is risking five years in prison, because he has a website with links to downloads of films and tv series managed. There he would 230.000 dollars to advertentiegelden have earned.
Although his ‘offence’ in the United Kingdom itself is probably not even a criminal offense, he may yet be extradited. According to the lawyer of O’dwyer was the site, TVShack.net in principle, not search engines such as Google or Yahoo, which also to content link. The U.s. government, however, is that TVShack.net specifically created to to illegal content search.
The mother of O’dwyer calls the issue of ‘hard to believe’ and finds the extradition treaty of the United Kingdom and the United States ‘rotten’. When the student is delivered, is unknown.
