UK Home Secretary approves extradition of TVShack.net operator

The UK Home Secretary Theresa May has approved the extradition of a 23-year-old computer studies student to the United States to face charges of breaking copyright law.

Despite being a teenager when running TVShack.net, Richard O’Dwyer who has never been to the US before or even used servers located in the US, is being extradited merely because authorities in the States claim that the content featured on his site was made in the US.
