* MUSO tracked a total of 191 billion visits to piracy sites in 2016 before filtering out visits data from China, Taiwan (Republic of China), Japan, South Korea and North Korea, as its domain coverage for these countries wasn’t complete for the period of this report so didn’t sufficiently reflect the piracy in these markets in relation to other countries.
