The folks at the Pirate Bay released a Google Maps mash-up Wednesday
that illustrates its worldwide user base, with exact percentages by
country. It’s a pretty fascinating project in that it helps to dispel
certain myths about BitTorrent, namely that while piracy may be a global
phenomenon, swapping movies via the Pirate Bay definitely isn’t. For
example, did you know there are roughly as many BitTorrent users in
Portugal as there are in all of the African countries put together? And
that downloaders in Spain are neck-in-neck with those of the U.S. for
the No. 2 slot?
