So long as you don’t set foot on US soil, or piss off someone enough to get extradited.

Being a foreigner is often enough to avoid the punishment, but it’s not enough to be exempt from the laws.



What the hell? You're telling me some foreign national could actually be extradited to the US over VPN IP nonsense? As if this was as bad as drug trafficking?

I just checked my country's laws. Looks like international drug trafficking is the only reason allowed for extradition. Good to see the people writing these things have some common sense.


It's worth remembering that Mega's founder, Kim Dotcom, is still fighting off extradition attempts for Copyright infringement from New Zealand.
