            According to him, he didn't break any UK law.

              Maybe he did, maybe he didn't - UK is very poor when it comes with cybercrime, where as US actually gets the people and puts them in jail.

              He will need to explain himself in US court - even if he avoids it he will never be able to travel easily because of risk to be extradited to US.

                  No, that's not all he did -

                  "The case was brought by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which claims that the TVShack.net website earned more than $230,000 (£147,000) in advertising revenue before US authorities obtained a warrant and seized the domain name in June 2010."
