About Gottfrid Svartholm in brief
Per Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, alias anakata, is a Swedish computer specialist. He is the co-founder of the BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay with Fredrik Neij and Peter Sunde. He was sentenced to three and a half years in prison but was released on 29 September 2015. He has been living in Cambodia for several years and was arrested by Cambodian police in August 2012. It is speculated that his arrest may have been connected to a 400 million kronor grant from the Swedish government to the Cambodian government to grant human rights, education, and climate change change grant. He also collaborated with the organization for the 2010 release of Collateral Murder, the helicopter cockpit gunsight video of a July 2007 airstrike by U.S.
forces in Baghdad. In May 2013 he was extradited to Denmark, where he was charged with infiltrating the Danish social security database, driver’s licence database, and the shared IT system used in the Schengen zone. In April 2009 he was the subject of an investigation by Swedish prosecutors looking into his role in The Student Bay, a file sharing site specializing in academic texts. He claimed he had no knowledge of the site. The site was reported by the Swedish Association for Educational Writers in December 2008 claiming it violated copyright law. In October 2009, Stockholm District Court ordered that SvarTholm be banned from operating the Pirate Bay.
