Just about all extradition treaties require "double criminality", where the person is extradited on a thing that's a crime in both countries. The USA does not have these data protection laws, so the USA is highly unlike to extradite to a country where that's illegal.
- veb 14y agoI'm pretty sure that Kim Dotcom hasn't broken any NZ laws. Only a law in the USA. That's why the whole case is really borked.
- sanxiyn 14y agoI am not sure. I agree that while copyright is governed by international agreements, this case probably falls outside of what is agreed. I don't think safe harbor provisions are harmonized across jurisdictions.
