The "Pirate Bay guys" were persecuted in Sweden, nothing I can find on the coverage of their arrests and trials mention American copyright law. Extradition treaties are voluntarily made by the countries that establish them.

Again, if a country doesn't want to abide by the DMCA then they don't have to. Extradition treaties and the Pirate Bay do not disprove this claim.

Ok you are right about the pirate bay guys. But you could argue that the laws are heavily influenced by the US.

But extraordinary retention is just the fancy word for CIA abduction. So no treaties are in place here.
