Look at the graph. Their traffic peaks as they get publicity then it falls back to where it was so in the end the spike gained them nothing. It has been that way for the last 3 months. A peak, then fall, a peak then a fall. no net gain.

We will see if this fall peaks to where they once were or if this block actually has some effect on them.

seriously moron

what about the statement

and that while the pirate bay is being blocked

none of those people are showing up in those stats even if every single one of those people used a proxy to by pass the block

That the point

let say a million people were blocked in the UK with 62 million people in the UK that not hard to see that type of reach.

they should be 1 million people less after everything was said and done with

you just admitted they were just the same

if even one person used any one of the dozen techniques need to by pass that block they had a positive gain in users.

And i would bet that a good size percentage did just that.
