My blog diary of my fight against my son Richard's extradition to the US on allegations of copyright infringement for conduct which was not a crime in the UK. It transpires that extradition was sought because the US authorities were offended by Richard posting a rap video "F... tha Police" in protest at the seizure of his domain!

Episode 2- Full of Evidence from Mike Mozart & Major New Development
Many thanks to Mike Mozart for highlighting Richard's case and even more so this illegal and bogus attempt to extradite Richard. Billionaire Alki David has pledged to fund Richard's legal costs in the US! I'm rather speechless and overwhelmed about this news so will write more later I just wanted to get Mike's video out there.

Julia,
ReplyDeleteAlki David is Serious. We are willing to help you anyway we can. It's obvious in my Videos who is actually responsible for the Piracy online, and we have over 100,000 pieces of evidence in our lawsuit against CBS and we haven't even gone to discovery yet.
You should demand that Sumner Redsto e be given the Exact same treatment and we have THOUSANDS of Pages of Damning Evidence!
Best Regards,
Mike Mozart
Hi Mike
DeleteThis support is tremendous thank you for what you have done already for us. Going to contact Alki now
Hello Julia,
ReplyDeletejust to let you know I've emailed my MP, Gemma Kelly at the Home Office, Nick Clegg and David Cameron, and with the exception of Cameron who I forgot to do so, I've sent them all the link to MM's video, also I see MM has a facebook with 11K followers, perhaps a link to the petition might be useful, anyway here's a link to his facebook, https://www.facebook.com/MikeMozart.
Love and support,
Sophie Wright.
Sophie, Many thanks for doing all that the support has been tremendous and those videos are brilliant and now with the lawyers. I don't do Facebook but am in touch with MM
DeleteAs a USNavy vet, I support your fight for your son's right for freedom Julia. I contacted my representatives for my state and congress and voiced my concern and raised it to all my shipmates and friends on facebook! God bless you and good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much all this tremendous support is really appreciated and we really will need it!

DeleteFor some reason that's not working with FB
DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI heard about what's happening to your son and it's disgusting!!!! Good luck and screw anyone who thinks otherwise
Thanks Anon! Your fantastic support is really needed and appreciated so much.
DeleteGood luck with this, what is happening to your son is truly disgusting.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much we will really need all the luck we can get. Much appreciated
DeleteThis is corrupt,disguting and just wrong. I am praying for you,your son and for where this is going.
ReplyDeleteHopefully not America! but extremely difficult the fault lies with the UK government. Thank you for your support much appreciated
ReplyDeletesee im from spain, and i think this sopa thing is totally screwed... i will support you all the way, i posted this on my facebook wall :D all those sopa bastards should be putten in jail...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your support very much appreciated. Please ask your friends to sign the petition on this blog:)
Deletethis is bull shit i mean come on if thouse laws pass we would be looking at the and of the fuckin frist amenment of the us i know that your from the uk but this is a outrage
ReplyDeleteYes I agree!
ReplyDeleteHey Julia i'm behind you every step i can be, how could this happen to your son! It's pretty dumb how the USA go after a child for apparently doing illegal pirating online yet there are crooks and murderers still loose! it's a mad world.
ReplyDeleteIf we can win the argument that its not a crime in UK we can stop extradition (Linking isn't a crime in UK)
ReplyDeleteBe strong you two lovely people. And be as calm as you can possibly be. We will not leave your side in this fight.
ReplyDeleteThank you hard to stay calm tho'!
DeleteI can't even sum up how fucked up this is.
ReplyDeleteI understand that! Thank you
DeleteI wish you the best of luck and your child may be absolved from the alleged offense.
ReplyDeleteThe first battle is fighting extradition to do that we have to prove that its not a crime in the UK without a trial!
DeleteHey Julia!! :)
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that i support you and your son, this whole SOPA thing is really stupid and should be stopped! I mean if it´s not a crime in the UK then why the hell is the United States goverment messing with you two?! It was just a link, they should be after real criminals instead of normal people who use the internet and stuff! And they shouldn´t be messing with people from other countries... That´s just stupid!! Argh! It really makes me get angry, hehe.
My best wishes for you and your son :D
Hope you win!! And i hope all this SOPA stuff ends soon!
STOP CENSORSHIP!
STOP SOPA!
Thank you very much for your support! Worrying times
DeleteWhat baffles me is that he's being charged for something illegal in the US that isn't in the UK. I didn't even think you can do that! There are plenty of laws that make things illegal here that can be safely legal elsewhere, and yet he's being charged by laws from a country that's tolerant of this?! I am an American, and I am saying that your son is only the beginning of the troubles that will come if SOPA is passed, and we the American people will do everything within our power to make sure that this bill is never passed and your son is brought home safely.
ReplyDeleteIn order to stop extradition we have to prove "linking" is not a crime in the UK difficult without a proper trial and when everything is stacked in favour of extradition
DeleteAs a fellow British Student, I feel so sorry for your son.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best. You've a whole lot of people behind you, around the world.
Together, I doubt they can ignore us all.

Thank you for your support we need to keep the noise public and e mail people as in the How to Help Blog Post on here. It is the UK government who need the pressure.
DeleteI'm in the US and my country has become a disgrace, it doesn't care about it's own citizens, just the rich elite. My corrupt power hungry government is trying to take over the world.
ReplyDeleteThank you I agree with that. It is the fault of the UK government who signed the UK up to allow this with the US so it is the UK government that needs to feel the pressure by e mailing MP's Home Office & David Cameron & Nick Clegg see post on How to Help
DeleteI wasn't aware of this farse but as a Mike Mozart subscriber now I am and now so is everyone I know and on my facebook page. For a country that boasts about freedom the US government sure as hell doesn't put its money where its mouth is. I have signed your petition and will encourage others to do so as well. I really hope we can get this stopped I am disgusted at my government for even entertaining this joke from the US. Our (UK) goverment should have ripped that garbage up and said no as soon as it was requested.
ReplyDeleteK Edward
Hi there, thank you for signing and supporting. It is the UK government that needs to feel the pressure especially PM & DPM in order to make the law changes they have been talking about since before they got into power. Thanks for spreading the word
DeleteG'day from Australia.
ReplyDeleteI have signed the petition as I am utterly disgusted at what is happening. I thank Mike Mozart for bringing this to my attention.
If people can be extradited from the UK, people like me can also be extradited from Australia.
I have passed the link to all y friends and I'm quite sure they will also sign....
Thank you . They did extradite a man from Australia for something similar!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.reference.com/browse/hew+griffiths
Signed the petition aswell, This is just total madness.
ReplyDeleteI really hope this all ends in your favor.
Doing my best to share the petition to all my friends and family in finland and other countries.
Thank you for your kind support it is very much appreciated
DeleteI will do whatever in my power to help you fight this madness that my country, the United States, has caused for you and your son. I'll spread the word as much as I can and I'll sign the petition to0 as well.
ReplyDeleteIf it means this issue will become a cause for a civil war and I must fight my own countrymen in, so be it.
The US wants to have jurisdiction far beyond its own territory. But the people at fault are the UK Government who have failed to protect their people on an equal footing to US citizens whose extradition is sought. Their is imbalance in the treaty which has resulted in US extradition on demand. Thank you for your help.

ReplyDeleteHello, Julia.
ReplyDeleteI have an Internet Business in Manchester and i have dedicated my website to the SOPA/PIPA and the Extradition of Richard.
I have written to the Home Office to voice my concern over Richard being used as a Guinea pig for an American World Policing system.
I have also demanded that Billionaire Mr Sumner Redstone be Extradited to the UK for his crimes.
Please tell Richard not to worry. We the Internet community will not allow him to spend a single day in an American Jail.
Yours Brian Carey.
Hi Brian
DeleteI want you to know how much I really appreciate what you've done can I see you site?

Brilliant Brian , thank
Deleteyou
Hi Brian, I just saw your post here about giving you a call Ill get in touch tomorrow too late now
DeleteDear Julia
ReplyDeleteI am the Emeritus Professor of Software Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University. I am really sorry to hear that you and Richard have been placed in this outrageous situation I have been involved in discussions with some of the staff in computing to mobilise support locally.
More significantly I have also sent a message with your URL to the Council of Heads and Professors of Computing (this is a national body which represents Computing Universities in the UK) raising the issue and asking members to support and distribute the URL throughout universities. I have already had positive responses. l whole heartedly agree with a colleague who said that this action is outrageous - several countries have capitulated to US extradition when the local law and the evidence, and the actual offence are all in doubt...and the seriousness of the offence is trivial....what a disproportionate and inappropriate behaviour by the UK court. Another colleague quite rightly pointed out that many large US media companies have been promoting copyright infringement in very much the same way, offering both links and a wide range of downloading and sharing tools targeted at that same content.
Please feel free to contact me and let me know how we can make sure that Richard is not extradited.
Jawed Siddiqi: Emeritus Professor of Software Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University
Dear Jawed
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for doing this . Up to now we have done as requested by the University that is tried not to draw attention to them. At first I appreciated them allowing Richard to carry on, but then I realised well he has not been charged with any crime in the UK and from what we now know it would appear that he has not committed any crime in the UK. I really appreciate what you are doing the situation with extradition is dire indeed and Richard doesn't fully realise this yet.
Thank you again. I am in touch with 3 Uni staff I think you know they have been very supportive.
Julia
Sir Winstone Churchill, stated on refelection to Nazi atrocities; "Thank god we the British people have the Magna Carta Bill Of Rights to protect us from an oppressive regime"
ReplyDeleteCommon law has come to recognise that there exist rights which should properly be classified as constitutional or fundamental.
Sir Edward Coke report 117-18 - (common law takes precedent over any Act of Parliament.) "common law will controul Acts of Parliament, and sometimes adjudge them to be utterly void: for when an act of parliament is against common right and reason, or repugnant, or impossible to be performed, the common law will controul it, and adjudge such act to be void"
(Julia. Your Son had punishment imposed on him without prior conviction in a Court of Law, as his website was shutdown before any conviction, therfore,under UK Common Law any Charges made against him are Illegal and void.)
Common Law Magna Carta 1689; "That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction are illegal and void"
Bad Laws can be set aside as they are inconsistant with fundinmental Laws that they have not been "explicitly repealed" Ordinary statute may be "impliedly repealed" but constitutional Statute may not.
The Extradition treaty with America did not impliedly repeal the constitutionl statue of Magna Carta Common Law.
What im saying Julia. is argue Magna Carta - and argue dishonest behaviour of the menbers of the Motion Picture Assoctiation Of Amercica. who have brought theses charges. inc, companys like Sony - Fined for deception - fined for price fixing Cartel - Rootkit Scandel. etc.
Mike Mozarts evidence is good as well. If you throw enough of their own dirt Julia, they will want to go away and be quit,and they are full of dirt. Simple Google searches for member companies will reveal their dishonest activities.
Plenty of dirt on Sony Here; http://www.playbackups.com/ps3-jailbreak-modchip-news-manchester.html
Hang in there! You can't lose in such an unfair cause!
ReplyDeleteYou will be in my prayers, I'd recommend you all to do the same.
Cheers!

As a Sheffield Hallam student in one of the MSc computing courses, I am appalled by the fact that this extradition treaty favours the United States and that the UK government is allowing a citizen who is NOT of US citizenship to face legal charges in a country that he or she does not legally reside in or has links to.
ReplyDeleteYou have my support against this tragic misuse of power within governments and legal systems.
Hi sorry for late reply just catching up now. Thank you for your support. We may be holding an event in Sheffield soon lead by Liberty the Human Rights Organisation. We will publicise so keep your eyes peeled.
DeleteI truly wish I could help out more than just signing a petition and thumbing up YT videos. For what it's worth, you hve my total support.
ReplyDeleteTo say this is a miscarriage of justice is a understatement of gargantuan proportions.
Hi
DeleteYour support in any form is much appreciated. E mails to people listed on the Next Steps How to Help Post are helpful if only to pester those in power and raise awareness of the public outrage.
Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI am horrified at what is happening to your son.
I will be keeping a close eye on these goings-ons from this side of the ocean.
sapphoq
Thank you very much appreciated
DeleteHello Julia.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about what has happened to your son, and I think its a step in the wrong, direction.
What they did was totally inappropriate and wrong.
Alexander.
Thank you
DeleteJulia, We all love you! America is power hungry we need to get Obama out of office. We need to start a rebellion like the prohibition! It's like we been working on a thing for ten whole years that gives us the ability and access to express ourselves and I'm not about to let my freedom be taken away by some power hungry mother F***ers F*** Sopa!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your support all very much appreciated
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. The are the ones that should be in jail not your son.
ReplyDeleteThis is freaking messed up. Why the heck do we elect these idiots.
ReplyDeleteHello - I signed the petition TWICE over somehow Julia & have VICOUSLY attacked the inequality in my comments - So viciously in fact? I'm worried I'LL be pursued now by either the US or UK governments simply for doing THAT - Don't know What to think anymore my Lady.
ReplyDeleteI am myself? Having a VERY hard time re' my young son who I've not seen for 35 days, my ex-fiancee (the original witch of the North) & being part-disabled in my Own life right now without being worried about our Own government being a craven coward & disgrace like this on top of that; However? I could (& WOULD) not remain silent about That complete disgrace of a so-called 'Law'. It's shameful I'm SO worried but in this era of the Soviet State of Great Britain or so it seems? Maybe I'm Right to be bothered.
Ahh, I don't know Miss - What's this (once) Great nation come to now? Anyway best of luck in FORCING this piece of trash waste of time excuse to be changed as it damn well Should be - Maybe When you've done it (and you WILL)? You can then have the Labour Collaborators who MADE it law? Tried & sentenced to jail (or the firing squads they deserve) for their craven surrenders (waving the white flag to the US like a poodle back in 2003 when it was enacted here) as well. Disgraceful mess this country is now & it breaks my heart the nation My son will grow up in is like this meaning the one I grew up that I wanted him to see? No longer exists.
Anyway all the best Miss. Must go now.
Best of Luck Julia.

That's the least of it by the way fellow bloggers here? The US Government doesn't Just go after people here & in other nations with similar 'treaties' (read articles of surrender ala France in 1940) but also? They now even CLAIM for their own as US citizens ANY children born even to 2 FOREIGN (i.e Non US) Nationals in or ABOVE the US & why? Simple. That might be fine & US citizenship is a good thing to have in some cases & that child can always hold Dual-Citizenship under US Law (one of it's Very few concessions in any area) if they like until they're old enough to decide If they want to be a US subject.
ReplyDeleteHowever & you knew a 'But' was coming didn't you? There's Another, Far more cycnical & worrying reason for this that Might affect you If you have a parent or parents FROM the US (even if You were born here or abroad from the US) or a parent you don't know who MAY have lived or been born there themselves thereby giving the US a CLAIM on your nationality & I urge you to watch out Very carefully for this - That reason? Is as follows.
There is a little known (outside the States) law in the US that means that ANY child of a foreign national(s) born IN (or above as in on a plane!!) the US or any child Of a US citizen(s) born abroad From the US? Is considered AS a US citizen for taxation purposes meaning literally Thousands of people now living Far from the US & even Many who've NEVER set foot in the US in their lives!!! are now being pursued by the US government for taxation purposes.
This means these people are now all to often recieving & could recieve taxation notices for tax on ANY money they might earn Wherever they might live or have lived all their lives from the American IRS & should they NOT pay that & then visit the US even if they Don't know this rule? They can be arrested or deported I think & barred from Ever going back there. Of course since Not paying your tax to the IRS over there is most Clearly a crime under US Law & given That shambles of a treaty in operation in the UK right now allowing Them to SEIZE people from here for stuff that isn't a crime here? Then regarding something like That which Is?
Well given that - I would just suggest ANYone who knows or thinks they MIGHT have been born to US parents or parents who themselves were born in the US? Is very, VERY careful indeed. I think given the correlation of the strictness of the US's tax laws & How rigourously they are Trying to apply this disgrace of a 'seizure' treaty before the UK inevitably reworks it to prevent such seizures of our citizens & destroys it as it is now under the pressure coming mainly due to Julia's son's & other cases here?
Well anyway I think it will Only be a matter of Time right now Before someone of UK origin whose NEVER been to the US? Is thereby arrested over something like this & deported there to serve time or be punished for not paying taxes under that rule I mentioned despite NEVER having been to the US or even PLANNED to go there in his/her life & other than their possible birth or that of their parents? Not being connected to the US at all - In case of That US law? None of that matters & I can just See them trying to combine it with this ridiculous excuse for an extradition treaty.
In fact myself? I can see THAT or something like it coming? From a mile off & it's not a picture that makes me comfortable, not at all - Quite the opposite in fact. Beware is all I'm saying about this & be AWARE of these rules & US laws given HOW they might affect us fellow bloggers. Forewarned is forearmed & right now? Forewarned is VERY advisable........
OK Be safe people. Off now. Bye for now all.
Best of luck once more Julia
