Pirate Bay founder Peter Sunde arrested in Sweden


Peter Sunde, one of the four founders of the Pirate Bay file-sharing sites, was arrested in Sweden to serve a two-year sentence he received in 2012 for criminal copyright infringement, Bloomberg said, referring to Newsday.

Interpol had been searching for Sund since his sentence was handed down, Newsday reported.

“We have been looking for him since 2012,” said Carolina Ekeus, spokeswoman at the Swedish National Police Board. “He was given eight months in jail so he has to serve his sentence.”

Counsel for Sund told a Swedish news service that his client was wrongly convicted and that the file-sharing process for personal use will eventually be permitted, Newsday reported.

Despite the Swedish court case, the website is still functioning. On its website, Pirate Bay says it is now run by a different organization and is registered in the Seychelles.
