Summary: British student Richard O’Dwyer will be extradited after the Home Secretary approved the court’s decision. All British citizens are now at risk of a similar fate.
UK Home Secretary Theresa May has approved the extradition of 23-year-old British student Richard O’Dwyer to face copyright infringement charges in the U.S. — even though his alleged crimes were not committed there, and UK law dictates that his actions are not illegal.
The extradition paves the way for other Britons to be sent to the United States to face similar charges, setting a dangerous precedence for civil liberties.
The U.S. government agency claimed the site generated more than $230,000 (£147,000) in advertising revenue.
which makes one question what is really behind this big push to label all these guys as criminals of the highest caliber.
The New Cable-TV Guy: Intel Chip Maker Working on a Web-Based Video Service to Compete With Cable, Satellite Providers
Intel Corp. is developing an Internet-based television service that it hopes to sell to U.S. consumers, a strategic shift by the chip maker as it sets its sights on the crowded pay-TV business.
Intel has for several months been pitching media companies on a plan to create a "virtual cable operator" that would offer U.S. TV channels nationwide over the Internet in a bundle similar to subscriptions sold by cable- and satellite-TV operators, according to people familiar with the effort. Intel wouldn't provide Internet access, which subscribers would obtain separately.

I wonder...
Do you think that they will have to incorporate "tea time" into the regularly scheduled day of events in the prison? It would be the proper thing to do of course.
