Someone's getting a free trip to the US – well, not quite free. Brit bloke extradited to face $2m+ cyber-scam charges

I will root for anyone who goes after cybercrime. Frankly, as far as the law is concerned the Internet is the Wild West, anything goes.

And that goes for multinational behemoths as well, who impose their views in the structures that are supposed to manage how we access and use the Internet.

I really would like a proper legal structure imposed everywhere that protects privacy and enforces fairness, but that is a pipe dream.

However, making the USA respect international treaties and extradition requests is not a pipe dream. It's just unfeasible at this point in time.
