I assume if you are involved in stealing property from folks in the US (I assume many of the owners of the stolen material are American companies), the US has the right to extradite you. Seems reasonable to me.

Sure. Is that reciprocal? Would the US extradite a US citizen from the US to eg France to face prosecution for copyright infringement?

The man in the article was an Estonian living in the Netherlands, so probably not a Dutch citizen.
