sold ads for The Pirate Bay for an average of EUR60,000 per month
Let's see: We could advertise on google and target people specifically searching for a product, and pay as little as 10 cents per click, or...
We could advertise on a criminal website marketed towards people who hate spending money for products and pay 60K Euros a month.
Hmm, think, think...
- omouse 19y ago> people who hate spending money for products Correction: people who hate spending money for shitty products. Or they hate paying an inflated price. Piracy is competition and should be treated as such.
- mynameishere 19y agopeople who hate spending money for shitty products Uh, no. Unless you consider 95 percent (or whatever) of all the movies and music and software ever made as consistently "shitty". Or they hate paying an inflated price. Look up "beethoven symphonies" on piratebay, and you'll see plenty of people seeding and leeching. Then look up the same on amazon, and you'll see that all 9 are available together as low as 20 dollars. If 20 dollars is an "inflated price" for that product, well, then there's no point in trying... Piracy is competition and should be treated as such Compete with zero? Sigh. Blah-dee, blah-dee, blah.
