I feel like I am missing something with this case.

Does anyone have some insight as to why the USJD is charging him with copyright? Is it a crime to host links to copyrighted content? What is USJD using to claim jurisdiction?

It seems that ICE is using top-level domains to claim jurisdiction, [anything .net or .com that's registered through Verisign](http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/jul/03/us-anti-pir...)
