>This guy never left the uk, yet he committed a us crime? If China had this power they could extradite almost every single American who watches porn.
Extradition usually requires it to be a crime in both countries. Ironically, due to obscenity laws, it might actually be possible to do it over porn in some edge cases.
>Clearly, this sets an expectation that if you live in a country with extradition treaties with the US, you better be rich enough to afford a US lawyer or smart enough to understand all of its countless number of laws on every level.
Unfortunately, this isn't even new. The case of Kim Dotcom shows just how ridiculously far US "law enforcement" can go at the behest of organizations such as MPAA/RIAA.
