Download sites continue to grow despite the fight against piracy

These web pages continue to accumulate impressive numbers of visits and downloads. Everything has increased, also the contents have risen. Last year some 300, 000 million visits were made to these download portals.

Piracy is still in fashion

The number of visits is impressive and also represents an increase compared to the 2016 figures. To be precise, an increase of 1.6% in terms of visits. In addition, more than half of the visits are to streaming web pages. So streaming continues to gain presence among users. Once again, the United States is once again the leading country on the visiting list.

Among the top 10 we find other countries such as India, Brazil or the United Kingdom. The latter is interesting, because it is one of the European countries that has been fighting piracy the most in recent months. It seems like they haven't done enough yet. It is also surprising that China has fallen in 2017 from this top 10. The increasing censorship of the country's government may have played a role.

In addition, television series are still the most consumed content. This report shows that piracy is still present and very fashionable. In addition to demonstrating once again that the arrival of services such as Spotify or Netflix do not represent the end of piracy.
