Police raid doubles Pirate Bay's popularity
Published: 11th June 2006 18:26 CET
The Pirate Bay, one of the world's most popular websites for illegal
downloading of movies, has doubled its number of visitors after
Swedish police shut down the site for three days, according to an
Internet monitoring site, Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter said on Sunday.
Swedish authorities closed the site after several raids on May 31. The
site reopened three days later using servers in The Netherlands.
Figures released by Alexa.com, a US-based Internet monitoring company,
showed that traffic to the Pirate Bay had doubled since the site
reopened, Dagens Nyheter said.
According to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the
site makes more than 157,000 illegal files available including recent
releases such as "The Da Vinci Code", "Mission Impossible: III", and
"Poseidon".
