A lower Swedish court last year convicted Svartholm Warg, along with Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij and Carl Lundstrom, of assisting to copyright infringement by helping millions of Pirate Bay users illegally download music, movies and computer games. All four defendants have denied the charges and are back for round two, this time in Svea Court of Appeals, one of the six appellate courts in Sweden. Their defense lawyers argue for their acquittal because The Pirate Bay doesn't actually host any copyright-protected material itself.

One of the four defendants failed to show up in court Tuesday at the start of the second round in the battle between file-sharing website The Pirate Bay and the entertainment industry.
Defense lawyer Ola Salomonsson said he had received text messages from Gottfrid Svartholm Warg’s mother, saying her son had fallen ill in Cambodia and wouldn’t appear in front of the Svea Court of Appeal.
