For some reason, it seems likely to me that they are doing this so that they can eventually add their own partner/affiliate tracking. It could be the only real viable model for them.
- draggnar 14y agoIt seems reasonable. As long as the quality on the site is not dropping what is the problem with affiliate links?

- apgwoz 14y agoCouldn't they get around any problems by providing a way in which you could download and "recover" the original links?
