Earlier discussion of a different article on the arrest: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4464057
Arresting the founders of TPB is just silly, only the user's are the criminals.
+1 for Cambodia for doing the right thing and not looking the other way.
"a crime related to information technology"
this is a bunch of BS. the founder of TPB were well within Swedish law and did nothing illegal. No copy-written content is hosted on TPB, just torrents.
Props to the BBC for the last paragraph:
No copyright content is hosted on the site's web servers. Instead, it hosts "torrent" links to TV, film and music files held on its users' computers.
