The student, Richard O’Dwyer, had created a Web site called TVShack that was accused of violating copyright laws for containing free links to movies and television programs. In June the founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, started an online petition seeking to stop Mr. O’Dwyer’s extradition to the United States, where he faced trial. Mr. O’Dwyer struck a deal that will require him to travel to the United States and pay a small fine, but he will not face jail time.
