Foreign Website Owners Face Extradition to U.S. on Piracy Charges

Although most people may think the pirated-goods issue as being limited to pirated films and music, the counterfeit goods trade ICE is attempting to throttle range well beyond digital media. The list includes sports equipment, designer goods such as shoes and handbags, and even illegal pharmaceuticals.

Duncan,

When I was about 10 years old, my mother took my friends and me to the "World of Wheels Custom Car Show" at the Allentown Fairgrounds.

There were three guests posing for pictures and autographs: Richard Kiel, Boss Hogg and whoever the Playboy Playmate of the year happened to be.

I ran to Keil, then to Boss Hogg. It didn't even occur to me to go over to bikini-clad, buxom beauty. I was ten years, was in 7th-Heaven from having autopics of Jaws and Hogg, and still had a lot to learn about women. I still don't fully understand them :(

Richard Kiel, one of my Favorites, was also Dr. Loveless' giant assistant in the first 3 Loveless B+W "Wild, Wild, Wests" episodes - as the initially mute Voltaire. He was also the star of "Eegah", about a giant caveman living just outside of LA - a cult classic. (He couldn't find a cave in Jersry.)

The inimitable Michael Dunn played the evil Dr. Miguelito (little Michael) Loveless. Danny Woodburn - Seinfeld's rage-filled Micky Abbott, is the only guy I think could play that role beside Dunn.

Just make sure it's not the great Richard Kiel, a.k.a, "Jaws" from James Bond; we all know in "The Spy Who Loved Me" how the huge man-eating shark fared against Kiel's titanium chompers. Man - 1 : Shark - 0.

In any case, it's an interesting article, but with the issue of illegal immigration, not to mention ongoing terror prevention, I don't see the Feds having the manpower to devote to this other than perhaps a few high-profile cases to make an example.

Thanks Shark...
