Pirate Bay Founder Warg Being Held in Solitary Confinement
From Torrent Freak comes news that one of the Pirate Bay founders is now being held in solitary confinement after Sweden turned him over to Denmark. From the article: "In a recent letter sent to Amnesty and shared with TorrentFreak, Gottfrid’s mother Kristina explains her son’s plight. She says that Gottfrid is being kept in solitary and treated as if he were a 'dangerous, violent and aggressive criminal' even though his only crime — if any — is hacking. Gottfrid’s lawyer Luise Høi says the terms of his confinement are unacceptable and are being executed without the correct legal process. 'It is the case that Danish authorities are holding my client in solitary confinement without a warrant,' Høi explains, noting that if the authorities wish to exclude Gottfrid from access to anyone except his lawyer and prison staff, they need to apply for a special order."
Mom is really delusional or ... well, his mom is delusional.
If anyone thinks that a founder of TPB's only crime is 'some hacking', you instantly lose all credibility in any sort of rational argument. In all parts of the world I'm aware of, common sense agrees that willfully promoting criminal activity is a crime as well. Anyone arguing that willful copyright infringement was not the goal of TPB is the same kind of person who would take your wallet out of your hands while you were watching and then tell you they never took it from you. The type of liar that is so full of their own lies even they believe everything they say.
No TPB founder is 'innocent', pretending they are just makes you look like a douche.

...a punishment largely avoidable by not being a gangbanger.
All still largely avoidable by not being a gangbanger and not being a goddamned felon in prison to begin with.
The overwhelming majority of prisoners who aren't animals just quietly serve their time and go home.
