An australian citizen has been deported to the USA for infringing on US intellectual property - in Australia. The 44 year old man is being accused of pirating products of an american company.
Under normal circumstances, this would lead to a court proceeding against the man in his home country, Australia. Consequently, he would probably be convicted to fines, or even prison (In case he wouldn't pay the fines).
Instead, the australian, who has never before set a foot on US territory, has been deported to the USA in order to face 10 years in jail for piracy.
