Comments on: The reports of P2P’s death remain greatly exaggerated http://www.zeropaid.com/news/87240/the-reports-of-p2ps-death-remain-greatly-exaggerated/ Wed, 15 Feb 2012 04:36:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: D.AN http://www.zeropaid.com/news/87240/the-reports-of-p2ps-death-remain-greatly-exaggerated/#comment-212393 D.AN Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:20:32 +0000 http://www.zeropaid.com/?p=87240#comment-212393 "You make money off of something which is supposed to be free." There is nothing wrong with that in general. A free offering does not mean complete lack of revenue streams. "You are making money off of the generosirty and goodwill of others and spread fear and doubt." Making money off of those who use the service? If it's a paid service, obviously there is going to be revenue, so generosity and goodwill are completely irrelevant to the matter. If you're regarding advertisements, generosity and goodwill are still irrelevant. Spreading fear and doubt? Not even close. In fact, that applies to you. "... you're dependent on content in which the creators get no control or share." Do you know what a torrent is? Do you know what the role of a privacy service is? And no, it does not involve getting content of random creators. "You bring nothing creative to the table and only take." You seem to be mistaking an online network with the entertainment industry. "... because you are sucking the blood out of the system." Out of which system? If it's your system, then sucking would be superfluous as you are already constantly bleeding. But nobody wants your system's blood as it's dumb-ass disgusting. “You make money off of something which is supposed to be free.”

“You are making money off of the generosirty and goodwill of others and spread fear and doubt.”

Making money off of those who use the service? If it’s a paid service, obviously there is going to be revenue, so generosity and goodwill are completely irrelevant to the matter. If you’re regarding advertisements, generosity and goodwill are still irrelevant.

Spreading fear and doubt? Not even close. In fact, that applies to you.

“… you’re dependent on content in which the creators get no control or share.”

Do you know what a torrent is? Do you know what the role of a privacy service is? And no, it does not involve getting content of random creators.

“You bring nothing creative to the table and only take.”

You are making money off of the generosirty and goodwill of others and spread fear and doubt. Leech. In the larger scheme of things, as a businessman, you're dependent on content in which the creators get no control or share. Leech. You bring nothing creative to the table and only take. Leech. You leech off of others. Yes, parasite is a good word, but Leech is more accurate, because you are sucking the blood out of the system.

If you're going for the parasite angle - kind of odd, in terms of describing a commercial business that isn't really dependent on any other "host" entity - then maybe "tapeworm" would be better? Taperworms are sort of cool - in their own parasite way, of course. Or vampire bat? Not really a parasite, but the whole vampire-thing at least fits my daily schedule. There's a whole world of wonderful parasites out there, "leech" is just so lacking in creativity and originality, eh? Perhaps you could expand on your incisive yet oh-so-tantalizingly-Lilliputian commentary? D.

Because that's how most prefer to get their free downloaded music nowadays. So yeah, p2p is totally declining, as most people leech without sharing. But piracy down? Ha!

The government is not being democratic, a company has identified a fundamental weakness to legislation and is giving society what it demands. The members at zeropaid have been telling you for months how useless attempts to censor filesharing is, yet you continue to believe the copyright cartel can legislate a victory.
