This Australian never been to USA. After doing a similar piracy outfit, they got extradited to USA and prosecuted, jailed. Then when released they got jailed again for being an illegal alien, then deported and banned from USA. I wish I was kidding.

The extradition is legal for a few reasons:

+ Must be a crime in both countries

+ Must be a large jail sentence (Due to the excessive copyright penalties, this one is easy)

+ Must be authorised by the attorney general. The Australian government has the choice not to give up one of their citizens, but in this case they chose to do so.
