No, especially if they want to deport you for any of the things that are legal in the UK but aren't in the USA.

UK does not protect its citizens? A hair-raising revelation. I would not be surprised if this happened in Russia or any 3rd world country. Sorry but it looks as if UK had lost its independence.

In July the agency's assistant deputy director told the Guardian that ICE would now actively pursue websites similar to TVShack even if their only connection to the US was a website address ending in .com or .net.

Such suffixes are routed through Verisign, an internet infrastructure company based in Virginia, which the agency believes is sufficient to seek a US prosecution.

Kind of "evidence" Stalin's or Putin's court would use. To me it seems as the only connection to the US is that someone in the US does not like this. Human rights is a myth even in good old Europe. Ahh... This world is doomed. Orwell's "1984" slowly comes true. Those who print money order the music

BTW, from here it seems that Germany or France are much more independent from the US, at least it was obvious in Tony Blair's time.

It is troubling (in the USA at least) that intellectual property has become so important that many times it is now (somehow) a criminal offense instead of a civil issue.

I hate to think that people in other countries need to be careful of breaking US law when they are in their own (supposedly) soverign nation....
This guy is likely getting extradited to the US for a link sharing site, the government where he lives does not think it's worth prosecuting, but they will ship him off to the USA for some good old fashioned justice...

Our IP laws seem to be getting quite broad in their interpetation and enforcement...
-Supreme Court Says Congress May Re-Copyright Public Domain Works
-The Great Martin Luther King Copyright Conundrum ($10.00 to see I have a Dream historical speech)
and so on and so forth...

Thank Mr Blair for signing the most one sided treaty in history, not including those of a defeated country, although that's moot.....

I think the issue is over as I read that President Obama announced that he will block the law.
