DrinkorDie Griffiths Oz appeal
p2pnet.net News :- Australia’s Federal Court has rejected DrinkorDie member Hew Raymond Griffiths’ appeal against extradition to America where the US Department of Justice is waiting for him.
Griffiths, 42, is accused in the US of being a ringleader of the warez group DrinkOrDie, which cracked security codes and reproduced software, games and music worth $US50 million ($71.6m), states Queensland’s Courier-Mail, adding:
" ‘If there is apparent novelty in this appeal it lies in the nature of the extradition offences the appellant is alleged to have committed and for which his surrender is sought by the US when, at all relevant times, he was residing in Australia,’ the judgment said."
