By "lives in a place with a reasonable government" I guess you are talking about somewhere that will act at the behest of the US government and prosecute on their behalf?
Because that's nothing like as simple as you might imagine (for very good reasons).

Kim Dotcom could pretend that his business was legit (just a file sharing service) so he could drag out the court battles. Someone trying to sneak attack code into widely used software would have no such defense.
