Meanwhile, Anoop Mishra (digital media strategist and social media analyst) talked about the distribution of torrent files.
"Torrents have become very popular with software/media pirates because the file itself will never be located on a central server. Instead, it will be split over several user-PCs. This means you can't tackle it easily by shutting down one server," Mishra stated.
"It will even help piracy websites/search engines to mushroom because a gain in users and torrent sites were noted during 2014 when The Pirate Bay was taken off for a while."
