‘Piracy’ student loses US extradition battle over copyright infringement

TVShack’s Richard O’Dwyer faces 10 years in jail for operating website US authorities say hosts links to copyrighted materialA judge ruled on Friday that a 23-year-old student can be extradited to the United States for running a website posting links to pirated TV shows and films, despite significant doubts over whether such sites break any UK laws. The ruling threw Britain’s contentious extradition treaty with the US, which critics allege is greatly biased against UK nationals fighting their removal to America, under further scrutiny.
