Pirate Bay Co-founder Arrested In Northeastern Thailand

New submitter SeeingMole writes, just a few days after Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Warg was found guilty in Denmark, that Thai immigration police arrested 36-year-old Fredrik Neij, aka TiAMO, while driving a car to pass through the border checkpoint from Laos into Thailand with his Lao wife. He was wearing the same shirt that he wore in his arrest warrant photo. In 2009, Neij was convicted along with Per Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi and Carl Lundstroem of 'assisting in making copyright content available' in Stockholm, Sweden. Also at the BBC; thanks to reader iONiUM.

Of course, given what we're talking about here, the truth is that he DOES want to see the latest obscure Marvel comic book character get regurgitated into some shitty action movie, followed by a dozen sequels and reboots.
It's just that, because he thinks it's in that magic sweet spot of "shitty enough I don't want to pay for it," and "good enough I want to see it," he thinks it's OK for him to see it for free.
