Copyright Litigation By The Numbers: Over One Million Views & Strong International Audience

 Some time in late 2015, the Copyright Litigation Blog broke the one million page view barrier as tracked by Google Analytics.   Today the number is 1,113,489.  If you google "copyright litigation" Copyright Litigation Blog is the top result and has been for many years.

Where in the world do the viewers of Copyright Litigation Blog come from?   Here are some statistics from the top ten countries on overall readership from the time that Google started counting.   The blog originally had a subscription to Sitemeter that tracked readership, but that broke down at one point. Since Google Analytics started keeping count for free, I chose to rely on the Google Analytics numbers.

United States	615491
France	84993
Russia	71944
Germany	43374
Ukraine	42136
United Kingdom	21335
Canada	13534
China	6163
Poland	5229
Netherlands	5088

Thus, almost half of Copyright Litigation Blog's readers come from outside the United States.

How do these historical numbers compare with more recent viewership?   Last month Google Analytics tracked 13,300 page views (a relatively slow month).   Here are how the numbers broke out by the top ten countries:

United States	6356
Germany	1956
France	1076
Sweden	578
Ukraine	283
Denmark	251
Russia	250
United Kingdom	204
Japan	167
Romania	150

Again we have roughly half of Copyright Litigation Blog's readers coming from outside the U.S. with some fluctuation among the countries represented.

If you would like to receive an email (for free!) each time there is a post on the Copyright Litigation Blog, simply visit Copyright Litigation Blog and enter your email in the "subscribe" box on the right hand side.  The emphasis is on how the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure interact with the Copyright Act and how to solve practical procedural problems encountered in litigation.  I also cover some issues related to litigation involving fine art and stolen art.

If you are an attorney needing to handle a copyright litigation issue for a client, you may consider purchasing Copyright Litigation Handbook (Thomson Reuters West 2015-2016) or accessing Copyright Litigation Handbook on Westlaw or through a Pro-View eBook here.
