Why do you think Pirate Bay would gain more traction than
the other alternate roots? What makes them different from
AlterNIC and the like?

A very small percentage of the population care about DNS, and even know what AlterNIC is.
A much larger percentage of the population care about access to pirated media, and know what Pirate Bay is.
Or to put it another way - does anyone think it likely that AlterNIC, or other alternate roots, would ever have their own political party, that actually gets members elected in several countries?
