Probably won't work.
The only way to make this work is remove the incentive. If I could sell "used" mp3's back to iTunes, for example, I'd be less inclined to share them with the world for free.
So a filesharing system that tracks what users upload and download, and lets users auction off "used" media an equivalent number of times gets the users on the same side as the music companies.
Now you have the idea, go make millions :-) If you do, however, I'd appreciate if you buy me a house in St. Thomas.
- chc 16y agoThat would not put you on the same side. They would say that's exactly the same thing as the illegal file-sharing it's meant to be an alternative to.
- drblast 16y ago"On the same side" in the sense that I'd be opposed to file-sharing as it cheapens the value of the thing I own, not in the sense that I'm golfing with Warner Bros. executives every Tuesday.
