Haha could have called it “where do people live?”

Reminds me of this xkcd (the US map even looks the same as the OP)

hendrik ,

It's probably a map of where VPN servers are located mixed with countries that don't persue copyright violations. And not necessarily where the users are located.

What VPN nodes are used the most*

DebatableRaccoon ,

Exactly what I was thinking. A pirate in the west doesn’t stay a pirate for long without one.

While absence of China in Top 10 may be somehow explained by The Great Firewall, the absence of India, Turkey and Russia is totally implausible. Or they might be scanning only torrents of movies with English audio.

Most Indians don’t know about Torrent and Piracy. hell if you tell an Indian they are pirating they would say “what is pirating? we are just downloading movies from Google!”

EU seeders!

Niiru ,

Looks very inaccurate with russia being so under represented

daniyeg ,

very inaccurate measure. for countries with average low uplink speeds most of them use hosting sites rather than torrent. this is basically a map of how good your internet quality of service is times your population.
