    How much has total web traffic increased in the same time? I feel like the number is meaningless without something to compare it to.

      I can’t think of anything in the last four years that would cause an increase in total web traffic. /s

      I was curious too and checked the article but skimming it, instead of a total, I found this:

      A new analysis from MUSO, a U.K.-based anti-piracy analyst […]

      With the study being done by a clearly biased person/group and that large omission, I think it’s fair to assume that the % of total web traffic going to pirates might not have gone up all that much, maybe it even went down.
