Does it talk much about the financier Carl Lundström's role in TPB? He never gets mentioned much for some reason* * Because of his far right connections

  IIRC it does, but only briefly. He bought advertising space on TPB and it became a controversy. The TPB guys were falsely accused of being right wing extremists for doing business with Carl Lundström.

    Woah, woah. He was a co-defendant at the trial. He was more that just a dude who bought some ad space.

Or get it from the pirate bay itself: https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/8118457/TPB.AFK.2013.1080p.h264-SimonKlose https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/8118457/TPB.AFK.2013.1080p.... While I do recommend adblock, there is no reason to be afraid of the site, or of torrenting this copyleft material.
