Pirate site blocking should reduce the number of visits to targeted domains, but new research suggests that's not always the case.
For me, I just get an additional urgency, like, if they block these things more and more I may as well download as much as I can while I still can. As a side effect I'm also passively seeding more.
I went to PB a lot more after gov went after it so it had an endless supply of mirrors and proxies. But I'm just the guy that will absolutely break into the Forbidden Knowledge section of the library.
Ooo, what books we pinching?
I believe the one teaching evolution is in there somewhere
Telekinesis for Beginners, Defense against the Dark Arts, and the current edition D&D monster manual w/ artwork.
Roughly a quarter
So it's still beneficial to copyright companies and governments to block sites.
