There’s a LOT of “non-pirated” material in The Pirate Bay. There’re not exact studies about the proportion, but Peter Sunde checked 2000 random torrents from TPB and said only 20% were “pirate”.

I’m not sure that’s the real number, but it shows from a qualitative point of view how wrong is your article.

Combine that with the fact that the Bay has around 21 million concurrent active users, and it becomes clear that around 17 percent of all households in Hong Kong are using the Pirate Bay at any given moment."

You should use words more wisely, instead of throwing to readers mean ideology (“P2P is piracy”, “P2P is killing industry”, “P2P is illegal”) of this kind….
