I'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?

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.

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