If he was committing a real crime like murder then I'd understand.
All he was doing was hosting a website...

i dont agree 1 bit with extradition.if he lives in england and breaks uk law (in england ) he should be tryed in england.the whole worlds gone stupid.
uk needs to stop fearing american and stand up for itself or at least stand up for its citizens.
stuff it everyone laydown there welcome mats and give america an open invitation to come into any country and abduct its people and lock them up for anything they want its gonna happen soon or later anyway.

Important point is that ALL movies they complain about are screeners. They were still playing in theaters.

So lets see if I have this straight:
So congress solution to to help protect IP in hopes of using fear to generate more sales for those IPs, is to waist tax payers $ on the courts pooling in citizens from across the world to US to be tried and possibly sentenced to US jails. While the people they attempt to coax into not pirating/buying will still not buy cause they have no $. AWESOME
They can't even see through their own ignorance that this will just be wasting tax payer $ on something that could have went into say I dunno job creation programs to help increase innovation. Not put it into something that clearly is going to make US economy worse off. Let them pass SOPA the way it was, fuck it, how long before they actually have it in effect before the next US President realizes Obama was a tool and this should be scrapped immediately due to high cost.

Ahhhhh Excuse me.. It's capitalism, not greed let's get it right please!! We are not greedy here in the U.S... there is nothing wrong with financial advancement at the expense of people who are less eduacated or mis-informed, as they deserve to be taken for a ride if they don't know or learn the system!!

It's not Capitalism. Capitalism is the system. Greed is an emotion & is one that drives another of human nature called desire. Greed therefore perpetuates said system into a bastardization of what it once was & turns it into a parasite that feeds on the very body it needs to survive, thus in sense almost killing its host. Or did you forget the economic bubble bursting here about 4 years ago?
The thought of capitalism does not motivate anyone to modify their behavior for good or bad. Yet, enticing one's greed always elicits a behavioral response; both good and bad. I.e., I will give you capitalism if you behave yourself... Nothing. However, I will give $100K if you do (evil/good)...
If you were right, capitalism would have been just fine in China right now. However, because I'm right (& it's not because I want to be, believe me), Greed has taken over. Don't believe me? Look at the Foxconn story.
If you want to be right, then make sure you are so.

Well said L. Russ, but like so many others, you are speaking from a position of reason.
Unfortunately for you and I, the administrators of this system we live under do not see the issue in such a reasonable light. Sure greed is an emotion, we all know this, but comments like the one's you've just posted would most certainly get you labeled a socialist.. especially in most of today's conservative circles!
Greed/Capitalism go hand-in-hand under the current system, there is no distinction. Calling it "greed" to justify economic in-equality would just be termed as an attack on capitalism or have you not been paying attention to the current GOP field and their philosophy. We all know the causes of the economic collapse, but only the strong survive!!
In short, the rules are as follows... If you are not strong enough to survive in today's economic climate, then you deserve what you get. Evidence of this idiology has manifest itself throughout the U.S. and around the world..... HENCE Greece/Occupy Wallstreet protest movements!
VERY OFF-TOPIC, but interesting debate none-the-less!

Thank you for your entire quotation. And to think I was labeled as a (taking artistic license here) know it all & blow hard elsewhere.
Too bad it took some harsh travels & realities in the military to teach me the world.

Unbelievable...on both parts...ICE and the UK government.
ICE is the abomination spawned by the Patriot act (who'da thunk consolidating every US investigative department into one big ball of responsibility would backfire?).
This doesn't absolve Obama of not stepping in and stopping this crap. I don't, however, see Mr. Pro-business Romney doing anything differently should he be elected. I would see Ron Paul stepping in and putting a stop to this BS.

I would certainly hope that the Patriot Act wouldn't be used in this case, but if it was then we really are in the s**t.
Really does get one to start wishing for the dead to start rising & take over.

ICE is a department created under and empowered by the Patriot Act. You didn't hear about INS (the department now known as ICE) doing this kind of stuff did you? It wasn't until the Patriot Act that they gained all this power.

I certainly didn't vote for the Patriot Act, nor was I or any of the voting public were under the understanding that we were given a choice to be honest, but you're right; slowly, but surely every freedom will be given away under the guise of safety or the illusion of protected freedoms.

Ahh, another enlightened world traveler with eons of ivy league education & experience to back his profound alliteration that not only leaves us gasping in its torrid mockery of original defiance, but its ability to consistently have us read it time & again. As though it were a Broadway musical beckoning us like the Pied Piper to see it time & time again.
Putz... If you have a problem, state it & then offer a solution. Otherwise you're nothing but a troll, off topic & in violation of Rule #15 of AD forum rules. Grow up. America isn't the only place in the world with idiots.

I think the patriot act opened the door so the feds can intervene with our lives.
Really, it was the doorway for the government to mess with us. I think 9/11 was an inside job. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but something smells like bad food.
The act gave the FBI and such to not have to ask a judge for a warrant or slap a GPS to your car.
Our forefathers are rolling in their graves.
The whole idea was to get away from totalitarian rule. Brits still pay heavy taxes on a part of government which has no say-so in the least bit. Just pomp and circumstance to supply $ for the King and Queen for their extravagant habits..
No King to this day but I'm sure he will have funky ears from inbreeding.
Keep the bloodlines pure Dumbo the Elephant ears. :)
