The crackdown on illegal file sharing sites such as The Pirate Bay, Kickass Torrents and Isohunt have been raging on for years. More than 70,000 links have been reported to Google so far and many of these have been removed. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said in a previous interview, 'Certainly there's some torrenting that goes on, and that's true around the world, but some of that just creates the demand.' The company partnered with Vobile to report links believed to be pirating content. The company began issuing takedown requests to sites providing pirated versions of their exclusive shows. According to Digital Trends, Netflix decided to go after pirate websites partly to protect their streaming business as well as keep rights holders happy. Meanwhile, popular global streaming provider Netflix is aiming for the shutdown of several peer-to-peer sharing sites in order to combat ongoing film and television series piracy. Other big-name ISPs in the United Kingdom also sought legal action aiming for the blockage of websites promoting piracy. The sites targeted by the lawsuit include The Pirate Bay, Isohunt, Torrentz, TorrentHound and SolarMovie. It was recently reported that Australian companies are working to prohibit access to these torrent sites.Īccording to a report by MNR Daily, Foxtel and Village Roadshow filed a complaint in the Federal court asking the Australian government to take action against these pirates. Although internet service providers around the world have been prompted to block these websites in their home countries, not much has been done to stop these sites and other equivalents from proliferating.

Popular file sharing sites like The Pirate Bay, Kickass Torrents and Isohunt continue to operate and promote illegal downloading of movies, music and other media on the internet.

The website stated that their weekly charts showing the most pirated movies on torrent sites were for informational and educational reference only. 'Deadpool', starring Ryan Reynolds, became the most downloaded film for two weeks in a row. Some of the most downloaded movies of the month include 'Deadpool' and 'Kung Fu Panda 3'.Īccording to Torrent Freak, the most downloaded movies for the month of February include Tim Miller's 'Deadpool', DreamWorks' animated martial arts film 'Kung Fu Panda 3', Rocky spin-off 'Creed', James Bond film 'Spectre' and Alejandro G.

These promote illegal downloads of copyrighted films, television shows, music and even e-books. The Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents are two of the most popular file sharing sites online.
