#2I'm not sure I understand the "nexus" part. Does it means the judge ruled that he specifically targeted the USA with his website instead of it being just a consequence of them being just another country in the internet? The quote from judge seem to imply the later. What exactly does this mean?

He's saying that since the site was accessible in the US that it affected the US, so, consequently the extradition was approved.

#4At what point will non-US websites just start blocking US-based traffic all together? I suppose one day in the future the US will be like an island on the internet - disconnected from other country's websites due to situations like this.

It means that the judge is an idiot. The guy didn't have any nexus -- but my guess is that it was primarily american tv shows that were shared.

No, shame on the UK. All they had to do is say "No". (Well, shame on the US as well).

That won't always be the case as more and more people around the world come online. If the US continues on a SOPA/ACTA/PIPA path I could see some internet companies blocking them in the same way that a lot of companies don't do business in China.
