The Pirate Bay is not afraid of being blocked. As long as there are BT seeds, there will be traffic.
|
In recent years, the entertainment industry has been trying to block The Pirate Bay in many countries around the world. Despite this, the number of visitors to the torrent site, which is notorious in the entertainment industry, has doubled. The United States still accounts for the majority of the site's traffic, and about 9% of its total visitors access the site through proxy servers. The Pirate Bay is undoubtedly one of the most censored websites on the Internet. Courts in countries around the world have ordered Internet service providers to block users from accessing the torrent site. Now, more and more Internet service providers are joining the ranks of blockers. Denmark was one of the first countries in the world to block The Pirate Bay, but in 2012, The Pirate Bay suffered a major blow. At that time, the main Internet service providers in the UK and the Netherlands were ordered to deny their users access to the site. The entertainment industry has called these blocking actions taken by various countries a major victory and claimed that it is an effective tool to prevent piracy. However, one question that has not been answered clearly is how the traffic data of The Pirate Bay has been affected. Is the site on the verge of collapse? However, it turns out that The Pirate Bay has never stopped growing. On the contrary, The Pirate Bay told Torrentfreak that it has doubled its traffic since 2011. The Pirate Bay did not provide specific numbers, but it is believed that the site receives hundreds of millions of page views per month. The data shows that The Pirate Bay is still doing well, but this does not mean that the above-mentioned blocking measures are ineffective. After all, the additional traffic data may also come from other regions outside the blocking countries. In fact, a better statistic to see the effectiveness of the blocking measures is the number of users who access the site through proxy servers. The Pirate Bay said that about 9% of users access the site through proxy servers. In other words, a considerable number of users who cannot access the site directly use proxy servers to circumvent the court-ordered Pirate Bay blocking. Interestingly, by far the largest source of traffic to The Pirate Bay is still the United States. Ironically, it is the US record and movie companies that are pushing hard for other countries to block the torrent site. All in all, the conclusion is that censorship is not a panacea to curb the growth of The Pirate Bay. Of course, censorship does have some influence, but millions of people continue to download as usual, bypassing the blockade.
