LOL.

We pay for 4K, but we don't get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive "privacy policy" - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO..

Not gonna lie, if you asked me what I would think the increase would be and I would have assumed it be a lot higher.

But then again, that could be the part of the pirate crew that doesn't use a VPN and is easily identified upon entering the site.

I agree. These stats are to be taken with a grain of salt.

Personally, I saw an extreme increase among my peers in piracy, streaming and Plex servers.

don't need to use a VPN when my country could not fucking care less about piracy. Hell, some major chain shops here run pirated windows
