Pirate Bay Co-Founder Peter Sunde Is a Free Man Again

jones_supa writes Former Pirate Bay spokesperson Peter Sunde was released from prison this morning. Peter is expected to take some time off to spend with family and loved ones before returning to the normal grind. He was arrested in late May this year. Despite being accused of non-violent crimes, Peter was transferred to a high-security unit. His time in prison is described as being tough. There was no concern for high values such as a vegan diet or even proper treatment of depression. Peter also lost 15 kg of weight. After the experience he tweeted, "My body just got re-united with my soul and mind, the parts of me that matters and that never can be held hostage."

    They should be hoping that they can continue on with their lives as productive members of societyafter learning from their mistakes.

    You need to take hope away among other things so that you can rebuild (reform) them with the hopes and desires society has determined is acceptable.

    Holy shit, why not save us all a step and just lobotomize anybody who gets a speeding ticket? You're delving into supervillain territory there.
