This morning we reported on RIAA’s suggestion that Google and other search engines should ban sites like The Pirate Bay.

While The Pirate Bay is generally against censorship, they welcome this proposal.

The world’s most famous BitTorrent site says that only a small percentage on their visitors come from search engines. So instead of less traffic, they expect more visitors as they are the best known BitTorrent brand.

They explain:

“Right now about 10% of our traffic comes from these competing search engines. With that ban in place that means that our traffic numbers probably will increase”

“Users will go directly to us instead and use our search instead. We’ll grow even more massive. It’s really hard to compete with Google, but if they can’t index media search engines like us, we’ll be the dominant player in the end.”

“So from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU RIAA, this is great news for us! For once, we support your efforts in something! Let’s make sure that TPB keeps on growing together!”

“Hugs’n’kisses from your pals at The Pirate Bay – soon to be the biggest media search engine in the world!”
