America , Din Land of the free and nursing home of the torrenters , apparently . Musicmetric , an analytics caller , tally up all the torrenting that materialise across the world to find out which country is the biggest plagiarist and the United States of America is an unsurprising number one . Good job , guys !
Here ’s the list , per TorrentFreak , that covers the first half of 2012 :
United States – 96.7 million downloads – Drake ( most torrented artist )
United Kingdom – 43.3 million downloads – Ed Sheeran
Italy – 33.2 million downloads – Laura Pausini
Canada – 24 million downloads – Kanye West
Brazil – 19.7 million downloads – Billy Van
Australia – 19.2 million downloads – Hilltop hood
Spain – 10.3 million downloads – Pablo Alboran
India – 9 million downloads – Billy Van
France – 8.4 million downloads – Sexion d’assaut
Philippines – 8.4 million downloads – Maroon 5
look at the numbers , it ’s moderately impressive that Canada has that many downloads given that the entire country only has 34 million masses — the friendly folks to our north are decidedly punching above their weightiness . Also , where is China ? That ’s the pirate majuscule of the entire universe of discourse ! Either way , I ’m beaming we ’re number one in some sort of ranking other than obesity . U - S - A ! U - S - A ! [ Music MetricviaTorrent Freak ]
