artascrimecrimeasart asked: "New Zealand is in the Berne Convention, which is why it recognizes America’s piracy laws. That was the only reason why NZ extradited the MegaUpload founders." ... It isn't even a law yet though is it?

it’s actually been enforced in America since 1989 and enforced in New Zealand since 1928. The Berne Convention pretty much states

that if any citizens in a country that is in the Berne convention (which contains 164 countries) decides to violate another countries’ piracy or copyright laws, that country will be held liable to extradite that citizen to be taken to trial in the other country.

New Zealand being the former and America the latter.

So to be honest, it’s not much like Hitler invading Poland
