I'll be honest here. I worked on the same exact idea and ended up abandoning it when i discovered your app on techcrunch a few months back. Couldn't have done it better! Great job! I'm glad it's moving forward! My only question is how do you plan to deal with potential copyright infringements. This almost seems inevitable to me.
- fatbat 15y agoI emailed that question and a few others (ie- handling disconnections). Shall update when I get a reply (if not already). :)
- fatbat 15y agoThe reply. Not exactly the answers I expected... [Q: How do you stop a download link from being shared?] A: We don't. We bet on the god will of mankind. [Q: Are links screened for copyrights, fakes, etc?] A: No. Gumroad isn't a marketplace so we don't need to do this as much as others do. [Q: How are disconnected downloads handled?] A: Working on improving this. We do OK.
- sakopov 15y agoIt's pretty scary considering what just happened to Megaupload. I suppose one could implement some sort of community-driven screening process for sellers. Thanks for posting this!
