Fresh data for 2024 reveals that while overall pirate site traffic dipped to 216 billion visits, the landscape is shifting dramatically. Publishing piracy is booming, largely driven by an insatiable global demand for manga. In stark contrast, both music and film piracy have tanked. Despite these changes, the United States remains the top traffic source for pirate sites.

Interesting that movie piracy is down, not because access is better, but because there aren't any enough good movies coming out.

Why are movies so bad these days?

Because we don't care about good art.

It's a democracy at this point, and all hollywood movies look like Homer's Car.
