Peter Sunde, a co-founder of torrent tracking site The Pirate Bay and its longtime spokesman, has been freed from prison in Sweden after having served two-thirds of his eight-month sentence. He was arrested in late May 2014.

Sunde's sentence stems from a 2009 verdict that found him and his three other co-defendants guilty of aiding copyright infringement as part of The Pirate Bay.

Before being taken into custody, Sunde ran as a member of the Pirate Party Finland in a quixotic (and ultimately unsuccessful) attempt to secure a seat in the European Parliament.

Sunde, who is often known by his online handle “brokep,” wrote on Twitter late Sunday night:

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 — Peter Sunde (@brokep) November 10, 2014

Then, on Monday morning:

I'll be offline until tomorrow or so, will answer media and others then. Need to sleep, eat and travel. — Peter Sunde (@brokep) November 10, 2014

Sunde’s release comes nearly a week after the final Pirate Bay co-defendant, Fredrik Neij, was arrested by Thai authorities; he is presumably on his way to Sweden to serve his prison sentence. Neij had been openly flaunting his sentence and has been living in Laos ever since it was handed down.

Late last month, fellow co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg was sentenced in Denmark to 3.5 years in prison for illegally hacking a government database. Svartholm Warg had been living in Cambodia before he was extradited to Sweden in 2012, and he was later extradited to Denmark.

The fourth co-defendant, Carl Lundström, paid 233,000 Swedish kronor ($35,000) of his fine but then declared bankruptcy in 2012. That same year, the “Wasabröd millionaire” spent a four-month sentence under house arrest in the Swedish city of Göteborg while wearing an “electronic tag” and performing community service. He then left the country and now lives in Rapperswil, Switzerland, southeast of Zurich.
