Why people believe, that this acts means ANYTHING? In Internet, they
(acts) means NOTHING.

Unless they live in a country that has a "secret" treaty with the US, like
the UK has had for some years, where any US court can issue and arrest
warrant for someone in the UK and have it honoured. Why do you think that
FBI is even allowed to get involved in arresting 14 year old hackers in
Cardiff ?

OK, it isn't secret - since I know about it for a start - but the terms are
secret and also it is very under-advertised to the locals. Wonder what other
countries have sold their souls to Satan ?

So, the US gov't is "Satan" going after "innocent" hackers in Wales?  It
still boggles my mind how prevelant this shallow, trendy attitude is in
Europe, even among supposedly educated people.  Why think when you can
just join the crowd spewing ignorance, as long as it sounds Bohemian and
anti-establishment?

PS: Without Satan, there would be no Internet for you to express your
considered opions on.
