haha i should have just agreed with this bit from the start!

However, if you're going after somebody for
cybercrime, it won't work unless the country has laws against cybercrime
that
cover the situation in question.

!! lol!! still, a very funny story there with UK...but theyre, again, a
monarchy, and, they ckinda have laws to suit them :P
As you also said, murder is a no brainer in any place...well, maybe not iraq
or afghanistan just yet :P lol..
anyhow, thanks for the interesting place to take my head at 9am :P ,very
interesting the topic as a whole..very good to debate this stuff, and run
for/against it, because then you would probably see more to... so, i guess
some people should disagree for the sake of arguments sake or, just kill the
thread ;p
lol, take care Valdis,
xd / Dru

As far as you know... :)

ONLy people who commit ANY crime in THEYRE country, will be
arrested...ever
noticed the main BIGGER servers are hosted there, even chat ones ?

Not sure how that should be parsed, and the parsing is crucial here - did
you mean
"they have to commit a crime in their country", or "They have to do
something that
*would* be a crime in their country"?

The general rule is that in order for an extradition to happen, several
things must
be true:

1) The two countries involved need to have extradition treaties in place.
2) The activity must constitute a crime in the country harboring the
accused.
3) The proposed punishment must not be drastically worse than what the
harboring country would impose

So the US can extradite somebody for murder from pretty much anyplace,
because
out of 213 or so recognized sovereign governments, there's something like 8
that don't have reciprocal treaties in place for extradition, and murder is
illegal in pretty much everywhere.  However, if you're going after somebody
for
cybercrime, it won't work unless the country has laws against cybercrime
that
cover the situation in question.  As for the third part, the US has on
several
occasions had to guarantee no death penalty for accused murderers they've
extradited from countries that don't do capital punishment.

So Gary McKinnon got hit with extradition even though he never got accused
of
breaking a British law (as far as I  know)- because the charge *would* have
been a crime if he *had* targeted a British server rather than a US server.
Meanwhile, Julian Assange's extradition on a rape charge hit some serious
legal
snags because the exact behavior that Assange was accused of didn't
actually
meet the definition of "rape" in England.
