If I recall correctly he didnt break any laws in the UK.

Correct because in the UK members of parliament are not elected to represent the complete morons at the MPAA and RIAA.

that's not what the judge thought. from the article in the telegraph:

> The defence believed its strongest argument against extradition was that Mr O'Dwyer had not committed an offence under British law

> However, Judge Purdy rejected the argument

I read that to mean the judge is not saying he broke British laws, just that not breaking British laws is not a valid argument.

i don't think your reading is correct. one of the basic principles of extradition agreements is that the law broken has to apply in both countries
