LOL. damn that's crazy! I don't know if they'll be able to pull it off either man.. they're calling too much attention to themselves now, they'll probably get shut down or something.

It would be nice if the seeder got paid money though, that would cause a whole lot less people to "hit and run" on torrent files. But you can get into major issues doing that, and this new system is recording users ratios and how much they share certain torrents. Sounds bad to me.. but Iounno.

It could work but all the files would have be independently owned so i expect slim pickings. Some indie films and songs, anything that isn't from a major record label belonging to the RIAA or a studio belonging to the MPAA.

An interesting concept would be to have a free file share website, but pay all the royalties through ad revenue. As more people come to the site, the more royalties, but more ad revenue. Theoretically, you could have them paying each other off, and a little extra for yourself..

i don't think ads get nearly enough revenue to pay for music royalties.

it's like a couple of cents per click vs millions of songs being downloaded worth about 50 cents each
