After the Stockholm court seized The Pirate Bay, Kickass Torrent and other torrent sites are under prosecutions and threat of possible legal sanctions. Although the campaign of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and Entertainment Software Association (ESA) with The Coalition for Online Accountability (COA) may have been productive, file sharing sites remain resilient.

The Pirate Bay (TPB) is already a victim of domain seized not only once but a number of times now. Last year, the site went offline but was recovered this year. And just recently, the Stockholm court released the final verdict of seizing the two identified domains. Again, the sites went offline. But TPB remained resilient as they have opened up new domain names with new logo.

Despite that the resiliency of TPB, the continuing battle against online piracy led by MPAA and ESA in partnership with COA now eyeing on the torrent sites like KickAss Torrents and Torrentz. Will they be able to put the two in dungeon like what they did to TPB?

Movie Tech Geeks notes that the answer is not likely. With the TPB's situation, KickAss Torrents ranking on Google increases. According to the report, the file sharing site now has a global Alexa ranking of 87. The site adds that torrenting is certainly unlawful, but it's still questionable how Spotify and Netflix are seemingly using the same platform of file sharing system.

IBTimes report that blocking the Pirate Bay had no effect on the piracy ecosystem. Researchers found that blocking piracy sites has done little curb copyright infringement online. It is said that there was 12 percent increase with the use of legal streaming when 19 other sites were blocked.

The site also notes that although the blocking may have been effective, this won't stop internet users to download files from file-sharing sites. Previous reports even revealed that it may only put internet users at risk due to the copycat sites that contain malwares and viruses.

Will online piracy campaign be successful in putting torrent sites like Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents under prosecution?
