If I put the over/under at 10x male pirate to female, are you taking the under?

    Bittorrent is also only a portion of pirating, but that's showing 3:1 globally, https://marketsplash.com/torrent-statistics/

    Complete garbage website. Tons of conflicting info, suppositions, and when you bother to look at the sources, their claims quickly fall apart. For example,

    In 2022, pirate website visits hit a record of 215 billion.9

    I guess we'll just have to take their word for it since they don't actually link to anything or provide the data. In fact, that whole statement doesn't even appear to be attributed to the University of Amsterdam. It appears the preceding statement about 25-34 year olds pirating is what's attributed to the university.
