Don't confuse civil and criminal issues. You cannot be arrested for any
copyright or patent infringement at all.

In my opinion, compared to criminal cases, IPR related issues are
taken more seriously globally IPR related issues are already coming
under WIPO and there are treaties like TRIPS
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIPS) already established.
For criminal and other such cases, there could be treaties between the
countries to handover the suspects. ( eg, recent Argentina case for
Quotraochi and other older example of Portugal)
