US authorities are hunting accused Australian internet piracy kingpin Sean Patrick O'Toole after he failed to appear in 
an American court.

US District Court Judge Amy St Eve issued a warrant for the Perth 26-year-old's arrest.

American authorities are unsure whether Mr O'Toole is in Australia, the US or another part of the world and are 
examining border records to check if he has entered the US.

Mr O'Toole's American lawyer, Mary Cay Marubio, said she did not know where he was and was as surprised as prosecutors 
when he did not appear in court.

"He did not show up," assistant US district attorney Pravin Rao, who is prosecuting the case, told AAP.
