The Pirate Bay Sees Boost in Italian Traffic Following 'Block'
Found on Torrentfreak on Friday, 15 August 2008
Traffic from Italy to the 'bay has actually increased this week and the site has jumped 10 places on Alexa in Italy.
Unfortunately for the people at the IFPI - the driving force behind the block - the results so far aren't what they'd hoped for. Rather like the increases in traffic experienced at HTTPShare when they tried to block that, this week has seen traffic from Italy to The Pirate Bay increase too.
The music and movies industries might hate The Pirate Bay with a passion but millions upon millions of regular people love them.
It's somewhat amazing to see it happen again and again, and none of those in charge at the industry (or in the politics) learn from it. It is like Albert Einstein said: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".
