Barrett Brown originally faced charges punishable by more than 100 years in prison, but the sentence was reduced after he pleaded guilty last year.<\/p>\n

Brown, 33, became an advocate for Anonymous and was often interviewed about the group.<\/p>\n

He was arrested after posting a link to data hacked from defence intelligence firm Stratfor.<\/p>\n
