The Pirate Bay Creates Interactive Map of Torrent Connections

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Pretty cool development: The Pirate Bay has created an interactive map of torrent connections around the world. It's obviously not 100% accurate as it doesn't include all torrent trackers across the internet, but it does give a little bit of insight into the behavior of one set of users. It's separated by country and as of writing it looks like the US is responsible for 8.37% compared to China's 25.75%.

Check out the map here.

This is very reminiscent of Torrent Raiders, an IMD 2007 project by Aaron Meyers -

except Aaron's wasn't just a map and visualization, it was also a video game :-)
