    It concerns me that individuals are being extradited from NZ for breaking a law in another country, when they have been on NZ soil when the alleged crime occurred.

    If they were in NZ, broke a law in NZ, then they should be charged in NZ.

    But if your in NZ, either did or did not commit a crime in NZ, you should not be extradited to another country to be charged under their laws.

    Kim Schmitz huh? The guy was in the papers a few months back complaining that he had not been allowed to buy a multi-million $$ house, vetoed by immigration IIR. He was quoted as wanting to bring his family to this beautiful company, create jobs & set a precedent for other wealthy entrepreneurs to come here & follow suit. Two sides to every story I guess......

    Kim Schmitz is a colossal tosspot. The only way he could be shadier is if he added to his considerable bulk and provided sun shelter for young children.

    This is the new world - what america wants, it gets. Borders are no protection and not a crime in your country? Tough - america doesn't care. They will arrest you from anywhere and extradite you to anywhere if they deem it is a crime or offensive to them, regardless of laws in other countries. Can't upset the corporate money-go-round - if there's a profit to be made, it's all their's! Let's face it, in a country where the President and his administration claim the "right" to murder anyone in the world, whereever he or she may be, for whatever reason they choose--or for no reason at all, recognising no limit to the number of people they can kill this way, and claim there is nothing at all that may impede their exercise of this "right", there is no morality left. I guess they should be lucky they were just arrested!

    the US govt wrote the book on misguided priorities. I still can not get over how the US/Mexico border can not be defended, but we can go everywhere in the world and take on other nation's problems. The country is done for, even if obummer is defeated. I might never return. I like NZ, it does not have USA size problems. What are major problems here are a joke compared to the shit going on over there.

    I didn't think they were serious about defending the mexican border, only policing it. Where else do they get their gardeners and housekeepers from? Sure they only want a limited number but they do want some.

    Only idiots drink and drive. Once again Police statistics back up the fact that most NZ'ers are idiots

    Sounds like NZ when Norm Kirk thought it was a good idea to let a few coconuts in to put the tops on the toothpaste tubes.

    Intellectual property (copyright) is not subject to a nations borders. if i write a song and have that published that is MY property and if someone in another nation wants to steal it you are breaching copyright law.

    Most of the servers that host this material are in America hence breaking the law and they will prosecute because of the loss of revenue and jobs that this creates.

    European nations are having this discussion at present whether America can influence the copyright on servers in the EU, so this will be an interesting development.

    Copyright material is not free!

    Another prime example of how out of touch the RIAA and MPAA is with the people providing the actual content.

    Last grasp attempts to stay relevant while the rest of the world moves on.
