The UK high court has finally ruled on the extradition of Lauri Love, the Finnish-British student accused of cracking U.S. government websites. He will not be extradited to face trial in America. The court accepted both of the main arguments that there is no reason he cannot not be tried in England and that he might suffer serious damage to his health if he were extradited.

    Since he has never been to the USA I find it hard to believe he broke into anything there.

    Computer intrusion via the internet doesn't require physical visits - you're doing it wrong. And the claim is that he downloaded information from those servers. So not communication, if the accusations are correct.
