The Pirate Bay Tops 10 Million Users

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the my-word-it's-a-convoy dept.

An anonymous reader suggests we go over to Slyck for news that The Pirate Bay has cracked 10 million users. The publicity from the upcoming court case probably helped. "Today, The Pirate Bay asserts itself as the self-proclaimed 'World's Largest Tracker' by topping over 10 million peers, while managing over 1 million torrents. Peter Sunde of The Pirate Bay told Slyck, 'We're very happy to be part of all of this and we hope our users keep sharing those files!... And we're looking to break 20 million as well.'"

    Anybody remember what Suprnova was like at its peak? I remember that Suprnova accounted for something like 40% of the traffic online, or something ridiculously similar. How does TPB compare?

    Pirate Bay now has more users than Sweden, which is at about 9 million. I wonder what the Swedish authorities think of that.

    Know much about Swedish law do you? Because according to every single article i've read in Swedish from a reliable source the prosecutor has no case whatsoever.

    The google defense seems to be working just fine since theyve used it for years already...

    TPB could argue "if you think this business model is so great, then why isn't Hollywood using it?"
