Pirate Bay Co-founder Arrested In Northeastern Thailand

Posted by timothy on from the on-the-whole-I'd-rather-be-in-denmark dept.

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.

    For wearing the same shirt. If only he had changed, they never would have noticed him.

    ... SRT has been in development for several years and its success rate improved greatly after Google bought out the shirt recognition technology site, "Shirt Happens," back in 2011.

    To be fair, EA has committed far more horrible atrocities against EA's profits.
