The Pirate Bay’s seemingly unending legal saga finally came to an end in Sweden today as the Supreme Court rejected a final appear from the site’s three owners. Founders Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström, are now destined for prison.

The trio was initially sentenced to prison three years ago, convicted of facilitating copyright infringement. They appealed the ruling in several courts and although they failed to overturn it, they did get their twelve month sentences reduced by between two and eight months.

Their fines and prison terms will remain the same: ten months for Neij, eight months for Sunde and four for Lundström. There’s also a fourth co-founder involved, Gottfrid Svartholm, who was absent from several hearings. Under today’s ruling, his original sentence will stand, and the four men will have to pay a total of $6.8 million in damages.

Because the trial has dragged on for close to five years, however, it’s possible that their sentences could all be reduced by twelve months – a common practice in Swedish courts.

Immediately following the court’s ruling today, the site moved from a .org domain extension to .se to prevent the US government from seizing their domain name.
