Hi all

Why on Earth do people think this is a viable business mpdel.

If people want stuff they'll get it anyway.

I can't translate the real Icelandic into correct English but the nearest equvalent is

"Yesterdays Technology Tomorrow."

Here's the link that sparked my query on this stuff.

BBC NEWS | Technology | Cash for Pirate Bay file-sharers

Cheers all

It just goes to show that anything is for sale these days.
I loved when you read articles of when they where in court. Everyone online was saying they are standing up for peoples rights. When they claimed all they did was add servers and don't store the copyrighted information on the servers. They where selling ad space on the site for years to make cash not just to support the site, they just found the number they where looking for just like every person out their for business.
