<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>I think there are a few things that need clarification.</div><div><br></div><div>1. Criminal Law vs Civil Law.</div><div><br></div><div>Commercial copyright infringement is a criminal offense and means you can go to prison. Non-commercial infringement is a civil offense and you cannot be put in prison for it.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Extradition.</div><div><br></div><div>You can be extradited following a request for extradition, if a court rules that what you are accused of committing in the requesting country would lead to criminal prosecution in the country you are being extradited from.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Grounds for extradition.</div><div><br></div><div>If you are found to have engaged in criminal activity, or operated in a particular country, you may be tried under their system. If I lead an organised crime group in the United States, yet reside in Australia, I may still face trial there.</div><div><br></div><div>4. Kim Dotcom.</div><div><br></div><div>Is considered a commercial copyright infringer. Therefore he faces criminal prosecution. His crimes are illegal under New Zealand law, so he may be extradited. The US allege he had substantial operations in the United States and so he will face prosecution there.</div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>===</div><div>Mozart Palmer</div><div>Head of Media Relations</div><div>Pirate Party Australia</div><div>Ph: 0415 152 765</div><div>===</div></div></span></div></span></div></span></div></body></html>
