In my extremely limited knowledge, I believe that extradition treaties can be enforced either when a) a crime has been committed in the nation that invokes it, and the accused is present in the respondent nation, or b) a 'crime against the nation' has been committed outside the boundaries of the subject nation, while the accused is present in a nation that is a party to an extradition treaty at the time of its invocation. Recently, there have been cases of RIAA demanding extradition of students in Australia for breach of copyright. Australia and Canada have been much maligned recently for allowing DMCA-style provisions in their copyright legislation and their enforcement . We, as supporters of freedom, need to be aware that a nefarious partnership of the likes of Microsoft, Entertainment MNCs such as Sony and our corrupt politicians might be trying to change the rather relaxed regulations we have. Microsoft in particular has been making noises in the media about enforcing copyright protection in India. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
