The Pirate Bay, an acclaimed Torrent site, is reportedly testing video streaming on its websites. The Pirate Bay faced a lot of backlash across the world owing to its massive collection of pirated movies games and videos. The traffic on Pirate Bay servers was record-breaking once upon a time.

After torrent sites started being banned in several countries, the traffic has significantly gone down. To re-boost and propel the same amount of traffic, the site will enable video streaming on its websites directly without any external software. Users can now play existing TV Shows and movies in the torrent site rather than downloading it. A significant number of netizens is welcoming this feature.

Anti-Piracy Activists In Anguish Over Pirate Bay’s Move

However, piracy-activists are raising a hue and cry about this new development. According to them, the momentum gained by the ban of these sites will now be crushed owing to these video streaming features. Also, governments across the globe have failed in preventing these sites from their countries.

Users utilize a virtual proxy network IP address to connect to a country that provides access to torrent sites. Although using VPN is not advisable looking at the security threats of the thing, users are delighted to hook on to PirateBay servers and stream their favorite content.

Currently, the feature is being beta-tested, and the finalized version of the function will be available soon. But, for now, the feature is already claiming huge appreciation from binge-watchers around the world. BayStream is the portal being used by PirateBay for streaming multimedia content. The performance of BayStream’s interactive platform is quite satisfactory as of now.

PirateBay was the giant of the torrent site file stocks. After the Stockholm disaster of 2014, things went upside down for the site and its investors. However, this new feature seems to have turned the tides for them.
