According to this (admittedly unsubstantiated) story, The Pirate Bay is raking in something like $25,000 per day on advertising revenue, or like $9 million a year. (Their math, not mine, or maybe I saw those numbers on Digg.)

Anyway. This is the strand that some intrepid young reporter could pull, methinks, to unravel the whole mess*–this is NOT just a fun hobby project to thumb one’s nose at the MAN of corporate content conglomerates.

It’s about the money. It’s always about the money.

*Please do not actually DO such a thing and expose this fine, fine establishment. I need to steal crap off the web like everyone else.
