As every year, torrentfreak.com publishes the list of the best search engines Torrents fashion. The list continues as the Pirate Bay site header, those still being pursued by the law and forced to change domain constantly, continue to lead the list for another year.
Piracy does not exist for its own sake, but because of the antiquated business model, poorly designed, based on ideals of you, an industry that is not fully adapted to the needs of consumers. It has already been shown repeatedly that countries with legal solutions for streaming media content at affordable price with less downloads content illegally, and that is something that the big producers are beginning to understand a few months ago, partnering giants like Netflix.
The problem is the premieres, new episodes of series that take months (even years) to appear in these legal solutions, as followers of them are not willing to wait long for a content that can not enjoy any other way (wait a few months while average web speaks the end of a series may end the interest of any fan).
