" The Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg has been arrested in Cambodia. Warg was held in Phnom Penh after an international warrant for his arrest was issued in April by his native country Sweden. He had failed to show up at the start of his one-year jail term for copyright violations in relation to the popular file-sharing website. Along with three other founders, Warg has said that their website was run within the law. &amp;quot;His arrest was made at the request of the Swedish government for a crime related to information technology,&amp;quot; Cambodia&amp;#039;s police spokesman Kirth Chantharith told the AFP. &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t have an extradition treaty with Sweden but we&amp;#039;ll look into our laws and see how we can handle this case.&amp;quot; Warg, Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and financier Carl Lundstroem were convicted by a Swedish court of copyright violations in 2009. Neij, Sunde and Lundstroem had their jail terms reduced from a year to between four and ten months after they appealed in 2010. They were ordered to pay almost $7m (\u00A34m) in damages. Warg did not attend his appeal hearing, claiming he was too ill at the time. The Pirate Bay was launched in 2003, before being mostly shut down in Sweden six years ago. It has been blocked by several ISPs in the UK including BT, Virgin Media and TalkTalk. However, users have continued to find ways to sidestep the boycott. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
