sh*t  :( i didnt know that cambodia accepts american law, or some similars..

dammit, they got the wrong pirate  :(

the fun part:


translation: we give a fuck about our own laws unless they suit us.

Interesting, when I was there I didn't see any evidence they had any regard for copyright whatsoever. Getting into an international incident doesn't seem like the best way to start.

Longshot, but do we have a btc address to get something to this guy?

What for? He was already sentenced. Not like he needs a legal fund since case is long over.

Swedish prisons are a joke anyways. You get a day pass to go to work, report to your dorm room at night kind of thing. If he didn't flee he'd probably be out all week and just have to report on weekends. It's not American style getting shanked for talking to a black prisoner or brewing alcohol in the toilet prison.

He's in a Cambodian jail at the moment, I believe.

True, but I guess if Gary Glitter can survive Cambodian prison being a locked up dirty kid toucher than this guy should be OK. Weird Cambodian police arrested him with no extradition treaty with Sweden. Obviously the copyright cartel of lawyers paid a hefty bribe to have him arrested.

You can buy anything in Cambodia. Even (especially?) the police.

FTFY ;)

Fair enough. ;)

Loved this sentence.

lol, had to look up shank first and when i got to the end of the sentence i was like "wtf is a toilet prison"  ;D
gotta read some pages of kant to get my remember-the-start-of-a-50-lines-sentence-skills back up...  ;)

Is he still in captivity?
