In a particularly odd story, The Telegraph reported that “Student Richard O’Dwyer can be extradited over TV website”.  O’Dwyer is a computer science major who ran TVShack, of which it is claimed violated copyright laws.  Apparently, it gained attention because it was too successful, becoming ranked within the top 1,800 sites in the world.  That isn’t the only twist, however.  The site itself did not even contain any video streams!  Rather, it was a directory site that linked to other sites.

The US government continues to bow to pressure of special interest groups driven by greed.  If you think Wall Street is greedy, then you haven’t been paying attention to the entertainment industry.
