This page is scam. 1. Bots to max out your Dropbox referrals are widely available (and much cheaper). 2. Dropbox seem to delete those referrals once in a while. 3. AFAIK this is a violation of their TOS.

A centralised service for a market still illegal in many (even some modern) countries isn't expected to be something sustainable. What am I missing here?

Reason is not a policy paradigm. Political decisions aren't usually made because of reason, but power. After a shocking event political agents try to adjust their communication to fit said event. In this case it worked better for surve

I just created an account with fake data and it looks quite promising. Are there plans to recreate the function of the Evernote Webclipper? I love Evernote. Since they are very slow and expensive, a real competitor would be great for them.

I guess it can be expected that the Latin American news sources will adapt and publish Spanish regional content. At least I see no reason for them not to do it. There is money on the table.

Most laws are created around an existing society/market-place. Since laws need to appear reasonable they normally don't ban existing services but tend to protect them through framing and licensing. This is why disruptive players n
