ThePirateBay.org only makes $60k/month???
 

imagine that ?:winkwink:

it says may 31 2006

I could live with that...

hah pretty cool...

He ruins sales for alot more than that ;)

You expected more? They've got completely untargetted ads and they service a bunch of thieving leeches... I'm actually shocked that it's even that high.

Don't you have bills to pay?

they make more than that I know for a fact

I swore they were bragging about making $20k/month off of just surfers from Sweden. I can't imagine they're only making $60k/mn total, its got to be way higher than that.

Now? A year and a half later? Shit!

$120,000 a month?
$150,000 a month?

Enough that you don't mind hiding it all and doing some jail time?

I can't imagine a single person there actually using a credit card for anything or clicking on a single ad.

They are all smart enough (or crooked enough, depending on your stance) to get everything they want for free.

there isn't a single GFYer that doesn't make the same amount in a week! word

i pulled in only 25k or so last year its true

thepiratebay.org probably makes way more. however, it's only a site out of their network. the same guys running tpb also own many other high traffic sites

Yeah and the rest!

I can see that people go to bit torrents to get free shit not to buy shit or click on ads.

QFT... :helpme

Bringing in the money is one thing. How much do you think it costs to run that

It's really cool the pirate bay guys gave the MPAA access to all their bank accounts so they could verify the amount of cash they make.

60k a month with no own product and almost no cost is good , specilaly when your users are a bunch of stealers who will never take their credit card out.

It's estimated... can be way less or way more!

+ user donations

Man what you mean ONLY???

All they do is host some seed files they dont have any expenses. Shit 720k year revenue is not bad they net 500 / year all profit

thats what i call a project

shiiiiiiitt

pure bank. they better end up buying that island so interpol doesn't stab a bayonet into their assholes.

When you have no cost of goods, that's not bad.

With their volume of traffic they should make that.

Yeah 500k pure profit is a whole lot of money

i made $60k while writing this post

The document is dated May 2006?? Yeah, that went well, didn't it?

That's a small fortune.

I don't buy it...

Only? I'd be happy with 1k a month. hahaha

i am confused according to this press release the swedish government has shut then down
but the thepiratebay.org is still up for me

if the law has been changed to now make it illegal then should the site not be down.

The thing is I imagine advertisers would be lining up around the block to get their banners up on TPB. Lots and lots of eyeballs looking even if they never click...

Figures, figures, figures...

The hard bit is evidencing more than the true revenue - the easy bit is reducing that legally to what you want it to be. $60K don't mean much on paperwork.

Considering the Pirate Bay is visited by a bunch of fuck wit pirate losers who don't actually want to pay for things they want, I'm surprised the Pirate Bay makes a single penny.
