Subject: RE: BS: Pentagon hacker nearly safe?
It is hackers AND jurisdiction problems AND lack of cooperation between governments that are the cause of governments wanting to censor the internet.

If hackers and spammers and crooks are allowed to flourish with impunity then we can expect the internet to be heavily government controlled in the future.

Yes we do need a balanced extradition treaty. If jurisdiction is going to be determined by where the criminal is, instead of where the crime is felt then the host country needs to deal with the problem to the satisfaction of the victim.
