From what I've read, I think extradition is the correct outcome with respect to the current state of the relevant laws and treaties.
This is not the same as agreeing with or supporting the currently-adopted regime of copyright enforcement.
I will state that I have very little respect for the modern notions of copyright disobedience. Historically, civil disobedience as a form of protest against unfair or unjust laws has carried with it the implicit assumption that such disobedience will be punished, perhaps quite brutally. The reality of that punishment is a large part of what makes civil disobedience noble, and serves to provoke broader outrage at the state of the laws which permit such punishment to occur.
Modern copyright dissenters lack that nobility, and without punishment, lack any way to generate broad sympathy for themselves and outrage against the laws.
