(NEWSER) ? Cambodian police have arrested a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the world-famous file-sharing site whose organizers were convicted in Sweden of helping to break copyright laws. Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, 27, was supposed to begin a yearlong prison sentence months ago, the Wall Street Journal notes. He and three other organizers appealed their original sentences in the case, but before the verdict, Svartholm fled the country.
His failure to come back and do his time prompted an international arrest warrant. Now, Cambodian officials are "preparing to get him out of the country," says a top police official. "We arrested him in cooperation with the Swedish government." But the future of the case remains murky, the Journal notes: Cambodia lacks an extradition treaty with Sweden, but Svartholm may nevertheless be sent home.

(NEWSER) ? Cambodia today announced that it will indeed deport Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg?though to where remains unclear. The 27-year-old was arrested last week after Cambodia was asked to do so by Sweden, which had sentenced Svartholm Warg to prison for breaching copyright laws. But as Cambodia has no extradition treaty with Sweden, Reuters reports that the two nations held talks and "we just know we will deport him. As to which country, that would be up to the Swedish side," says a police rep.
