If a US citizen in the US breaks an English law over the net...she would also get extradited to England. So I don't see what the issue is. The guy was facilitating piracy. If he were facilitating the piracy of English IP he would be tried in England (assming that is against the law in England). Since the IP was American...he is tried in the US. Justice is blind. It doesn't matter whether he is elderly or whether he is or isn't American.

He is still innocent until proven guilty.
