Peter Sunde has been released from prison early
Sunde, who was arrested in June by Swedish police for copyright violations as a result of files illegally shared by Pirate Bay, was released from prison yesterday (10 November).
On his release Sunde took to Twitter to reflect on his time in prison.
My body just got re-united with my soul and mind, the parts of me that matters and that never can be held hostage. #freebrokep #brokepfree

So many people saying such nice things, thanks to all of you! And thanks for the support during this period. It really means a lot! — Peter Sunde (@brokep) November 10, 2014I'll be offline until tomorrow or so, will answer media and others then. Need to sleep, eat and travel.

This comes after two of Sunde's Pirate Bay co-founders were picked up by police separately in the last month.
First, Gottfrid Warg was put behind Danish bars for a period of three and a half years for stealing police and social security files.
This was followed last week by the capture of the third founder of Pirate Bay, on-the-run Fredrik 'Tiamo' Neij. He was arrested by police in Thailand in response to a Interpol arrest warrant requesting he serve a one-year sentence in Sweden and pay a £2.4m fine.
