With the rapid speed Underground Forum staggers boerse.bz, in recent years the most popular illegal transshipment point for media files, now nearing its end. On Wednesday, nearly the entire team adopted with a remarkable message. The battle for the million monthly visitors to the "market" has long begun.
In mid-July decided the operator of the forum a radical step. Visitors from Germany suddenly it was no longer possible to download files - supposedly a response to pressure from the local content industries. Because a paid VPN service to bypass the lock was applied in the same breath, however, the researchers assumed that monetary considerations were decisive for the changeover. nonfiction
As we reported in mid-July, the number of new download options nonfiction in the "Exchange" in the days following the "lockout" German visitors significantly. At the same time stir among the active members vociferous protest that became even more intensity over time.
This Wednesday followed the perhaps last act in Chapter boerse.bz: In a "global announcement" is adopted all of the presenters boerse.bz members. "Communication [the operator] to us about the planned actions was not acceptable," it states. Terminate almost in the same breath, the 40 (!) Moderators in their joint statement on the future wanting to "take action together on a new project."
boerse.bz alternatives vie for seven million visitors in June boerse.bz recorded according to the analysis service SimilarWeb around 7.2 million nonfiction visitors, three quarters of Germany. This is a great cake, over which now want to pounce many new and established illegal portals (more on this in the art stealth blog). Whether a boerse.bz alternative once again unable to obtain such coverage as the original, nevertheless appears doubtful. Firstly, the search engine rankings of Boerse, which is represented by 1.2 million pages in Google's index and appears in many searches for content on legal outcomes, be unreachable for new boards for years.

With a single visit to a warez site interested can easily nonfiction stock up on months with reading nonfiction material and then once lost for legal providers. In recent months, in e-book Streaming sector at very much moved (readfy, Skoobe - currently free for 30 days ausprobierbar, Kindle Unlimited, Blloon). If the range is right and the advertising is sufficiently discreet, has among those named certainly readfy as a freemium service provider (= with free offer) most likely the potential to siphon nonfiction off the still piratierende readership and to convert at least partially into paying digital reader.
