“The Extradition Act passed by Labour in 2003, was designed for terror suspects… ‘It was never intended for cases like that of Richard O’Dwyer.” more

Richard O’Dwyer, a UK citizen, had no servers in the USA. He has not been to the USA since he was 5. But he is going to be extradited to the USA and face the possibility of 10 years in prison for linking to copyrighted material that he did not host.

THIS.

Regardless of your opinion of O’Dwyer, it should be a no-brainer that it’s wrong for a person who hosted a list of links to TV shows be extradited as a terrorist.

Yes, it’s arguable that he broke US laws, but he did so entirely outside the US.  Just because the US could see him, does that give them jurisdiction?  Well y’know what?  I’ll bet I’ve done all sorts of things that are perfectly legal in the UK but against the law in other countries - does that mean those other countries should get to extradite me?  Chances are that you, and everyone you know, have done the same.  If I say Kim Jong Il was a terrible tyrant and I’m glad he’s dead, should North Korea have the authority to extradite me and send me off to a prison camp?  Because that’s the level of abuse of the law we’re talking about here.

Fellow UK people; you need to sign this, because who knows what they’ll be deporting people for next if this is allowed to pass.
