Copyright Wars escalate: Britain to extradite student to US over link site
|
Richard O'Dwyer, the 23-year-old British college student who operated the TVShack link site, can be extradited to the United States, ruled Judge Quentin Purdy of the Westminster Magistrates Court today. O'Dwyer's attorney says he will appeal the ruling.
As we first reported in July, Richard O'Dwyer operated a popular "link site," which provided users with access to content hosted elsewhere on the Internet. Many of the links were to infringing copies of copyrighted material.
Neither O'Dwyer nor his servers were located in the United States during the time he operated TVShack. But the US government is nevertheless seeking to have him extradited to the United States to face criminal copyright infringement charges.
