Ya-har! The Pirate Bay busts some piracy and peer-to-peer myths

The Pirate Bay, one of the world’s leading peer to peer sites and tormentor in chief of the music and movie industries, has released statistics breaking down the location of its users by country.

Data on peer to peer usage is often hard to gather, and this set comes with several major caveats. It only measures traffic at one specific point in time. Other peer-to-peer sites also dominate certain regions and countries, while the Pirate Bay is, unsurprisingly, very popular in its home market of Sweden and neighbouring countries.

I had no idea that China was its biggest user. I suppose it makes sense since so much western media isnt available there and piracy is commonplace.

Or even "Gee-Whiz!". I expect that many a bloodthirsty pirate of yesteryear spoke like that.
