Without their direct enormous involvement in piracy, before he bought them and currently, I doubt that company would be where it is today. It is their traffic that has made them powerful and able to test and fine tune everything they do. Without their tube network, they would not have that traffic.

That said, it was a brilliant plan and they pulled it off. Kudos for that. But we shouldn't forget where they came from and the destruction they have done in the process.
Yup, plus as he said "we tried piratebay and the traffic converts. Converts really well". You should all try it, cos Fabian says it converts...
