The company recorded more than 300 billion visits in 2017, which suggests that “piracy is more popular than ever.” TV remained the most popular category and most pirates prefer streaming over torrents or direct downloading.

Despite the growing availability of legal options, online piracy remains rampant. Every day pirate sites are visited hundreds of millions of times.
