Pirate traffic certainly does convert - proof is in the pudding. Remember my essay is in 2 parts - you have to battle to get your pirated content down to almost nil - so ONCE you are winning you can employ this strategy - of course if you let pirates run wild its lose lose.

I’m right there with you Aden. Every day, day after day, sending in those takedown notices the minute content is posted. My problem is the slowness of filelockers like Rapidgator and Upstore with taking content down. And then allowing the same people to upload it. Just another day of wack-a-mole. I’m a small content producer so that’s about all I can do. I can’t afford to take these lockers to court and they know that.
When I do find the pirates and suspend their accounts, I haven’t noticed any increase in sales. I thought like you and figured dead links would bring in sales. And them not posting for a couple of weeks would bring in more sales. But I haven’t seen it and I’ve been playing this game with pirates for a couple of years now. Those that download from filelockers know the pirates will produce what they want. They know the pirate will just use another stolen CC and rip the site again. Because pirates get paid
big money stealing your content and posting it on boards. Even more than some of us small producers get paid.
