» "DrinkOrDie warez ringleader cops to piracy charges"
- so ars technica is reporting
- the subject of the report is Hew Raymond Griffiths, an Australian, who is before an American Federal District Court
- Griffiths had unsuccessfully challenged in the Australian courts a decision that he was liable to be extradited to America to face the current charges: see [2004] FCA 879 and 895; [2005] FCAFC 34; and [2005] HCATrans 666
- it’s reported that Griffiths faces the prospect of up to 10 years’ imprisonment
- perhaps he was encouraged to plead guilty by the example of the sentence imposed on David Hicks?
