It’s hard to feel any sympathy for the guy at this point, he went from odd eccentric file sharing site founder, to adware distributor, all the way to misinformation spreading conspiracy theorist.

Wait what happened?!

from odd eccentric file sharing site founder

no. he basically started with credit card fraud and “sueing people who fileshare”. Together with a lawer he basically invented the practice of “see which IPs share copyrighted data, request the user data from the ISP and send out C&D extiotion letters to the ISP customers”

Could you provide more info? Yes he and every hosting provider did that because they were forced to by Hollywood. They and all other hosting providers/isps certainly don’t want to do it because it costs money to track the infringers and then they lose a customer.

Zerfallen ,

How is Australia or Assange related to it?

downpunxx OP ,

If you don't think there was some three way horse trading done to complete both of these multi year extraditions, between administrations seeking a win they could brag about, then, I don't know what to tell you man
