OK.. It's still contentious, but intellectual property theft is a criminal offense in most western countries - if you add whatever may be the substantive charges, it may well be grounds for extradition. Most western countries have ratified treaties on copyright so.....
Porn webmasters?
Na... "porn" is not an extraditable offense in any country. Tho... CP and child abuse offenses are - and could be argued that "fake CP" (portrayal of a model as a minor) are part of that. "Fake CP" is a criminal offense in Canada, UK and plenty other countries and... could also be under USC 2256 definitions - so could be a basis for any of these countries requesting extradition on that basis. (Can only be effective if the offense is an actual offense in both countries.)
