They discovered pieces of the plane lodged in a wooden hut, which was practically cut in half, the police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A body was later found amid the rubble, said the police, who added that the cause of the crash had not been determined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Lundstrom was a grandson of the founder of the Swedish crisp bread brand Wasabr\u00f6d, and an heir to the company fortune, according to Swedish media reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He was a financier of the Pirate Bay, which was founded in Sweden in 2003 and became one of the largest so-called Bit Torrent trackers, which allow users to download large digital files by enlisting the help of other computers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Pirate Bay, which provided links to thousands of songs, movies and video games, was once estimated to have more than 20 million users.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Industry groups like the Motion Picture Association accused the site of making a mockery of copyright laws, and Swedish prosecutors took action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2008, they charged Mr. Lundstrom and the site\u2019s three founders with having facilitated copyright infringement by helping users download music, movies and other copyrighted material.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Pirate Bay trial unfolded amid a carnival-like atmosphere in Stockholm, with bands playing outside the courtroom and bloggers documenting every step of the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Lundstrom and his co-defendants, Frederik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg and Peter Sunde, maintained that they were not violating copyright law because they did not actually host any of the copyrighted material on their own servers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">During the trial, a prosecutor tried to tie Mr. Lundstrom to the Pirate Bay as a \u201cco-owner,\u201d but he testified that he had only sold hosting and internet services to the site\u2019s operators, Wired magazine <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2009\/02\/pirate-bay-pros\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> in 2009.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Lundstrom acknowledged giving the Pirate Bay\u2019s operators moral support and sympathy, Wired reported, but said he had not become their business partner, finding the prospect legally risky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A Swedish court <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/04\/18\/world\/europe\/18copy.html\" title=\"\">convicted Mr. Lundstrom and his co-defendants in 2009<\/a> and sentenced them each to a year in prison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They were also ordered to pay 30 million kronor, or about $3.6 million at the time, in damages to leading entertainment companies, including Warner Brothers, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI and Columbia Pictures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An appeals court later <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/11\/27\/technology\/27pirate.html\" title=\"\">upheld the convictions<\/a> of Mr. Lundstrom, Mr. Neij and Mr. Sunde, but reduced their sentences to between four and 10 months and raised the amount they had to pay in damages to 46 million kronor, or about $6.5 million at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Warg did not participate in the appeal, citing an illness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The verdict was a major victory for the entertainment industry in its campaign to curb online piracy on sites like Napster, which became hugely popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe are not triumphant,\u201d John Kennedy, the chief executive of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, said after Mr. Lundstrom and his co-defendants were convicted. \u201cBut we are satisfied that the court has clearly said that what they were doing was wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In addition to his role in the Pirate Bay, Mr. Lundstrom was a longtime supporter of right-wing causes in Sweden. He helped back a movement against allowing refugees to settle in Sj\u00f6bo, a town on the southern tip of Sweden, in the late 1980s, Alternative for Sweden said in its statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When Alternative for Sweden, an anti-immigrant party, was formed in 2018, Mr. Lundstrom became involved as a district manager and then as an unsuccessful candidate for office, the party said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It called him \u201ca legend and veteran of Swedish nationalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Mr. Lundstrom was better known for his role in the Pirate Bay, said Mikael Sundstrom, a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science at Lund University in Sweden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cLundstrom\u2019s overt political life was spent in far-right circles, but with limited impact,\u201d he said in an email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
