[quote comment="181513"]Well, according to my measurements, which serves a similar audience;

75000 pageviews a month only assures you with about 100 euro, because your visitors are the smart anti-advertising crowd, rarely see or look at ads, let alone click on them).
So, extrapolating that to their 100 million “visitors”, guessing they count hits instead of actual page-loads, I’m roughly estimating they make about â‚¬20000,- a month, clean, after taxes.

If you look at prices for leaseweb, you can partly guess what the expenses are, but they won’t be more than half of that (including ALL hardware bills), so they’ll have 10000 euros to share among themselves EACH month!

Of course, they’ll try everything to deny this. Just like TPB did before.[/quote]
So what? They do a great job feeding us with torrents. I don’t care how much they make every month or day, all I want is free entertainment and Mininova make it possible.

Wow. Impressive…

What about hosting in Denmark? Do they govern strict Copyright laws??

http://www.thepiratebay.org apparently was and is hosted with PRQ, but a few days ago, tpb/open/vip.tracker.thepiratebay.org all resolved to 85.17.40.xx, part of a block owned by NFOrce, under LeaseWeb.

I hope I’m not helping any antipiracy companies with this information, but I suspect not as anyone can read whois information! (It’s probably more important that we, the good guys, know what’s going on.) The concentration at LeaseWeb unsettles me a little, but it’s mainly low-key private sites and I guess anyone can move.

TPB was hosted by leaseweb? I don’t think so. I thought they’ve always been with PRQ in Sweden.

It’s interesting how many trackers ARE hosted on LeaseWeb, though. I counted almost 50, including (until the move a few days ago) all of The Pirate Bay’s.
