The Sweden-based BitTorrent tracker site celebrates as cracks the top 100 of the world’s most visited websites.
The Pirate Bay, one of the internet’s leading bittorrent sites, has reached a new milestone by becoming one of the world’s top 100 visited websites, according to data from click-tracking specialist Alexa.
Though the site currently ranks as the world’s 102nd most visited website, yesterday it reached 97th spot – and it’s three month average rests at 97.
This ranks it above the likes of IGN, Ask.com, Digg, AOL Instant Messenger and CNET.com. It is also vying to break ahead of the likes of The New York Times, GameSpot, PartyPoker.com, Geocities.com, eBay UK and Apple.com.
However, The Pirate Bay is still not the highest ranked bittorrent site – with leading portal Mininova currently ranking as the world’s 52nd most visited site.
It’s worrying news for those who continue to fight the online copyright battle and all those involved in profiting from IP. Perhaps fittingly, the news ties in with the relaunch of the now legalised Napster, which will offer over six million DRM free music tracks.
