Can File Traders Make Money?
from the going-legit? dept
The latest trend in file-sharing programs is to go beyond just installing annoying adware/spyware into their systems, and to start making deals with smaller content companies to promote their content through the file sharing programs. I actually think this is how file trading systems can make a lot of money - but only if the entertainment industry wakes up and stops trying to sue all of them out of existence.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
