Come on Lloyd, think about it. All of the American media runs stories mentioning file sharing and explains how to do it, and you think the traffic goes down?

Pirate bay had 12 million more visitors because of the UK situation and publicity yesterday

See link above. 12 million move visitors to the pirate bay from the UK since the brouhaha started. That's just the little piddly UK. Imagine how much more traffic the US for with the Jammie case etc. 100 times?
