Monetizing The Pirate Bay

Posted: 01 Jul 2009 02:08 PM PDT

Global Gaming Factory (GGF) has paid 60m Kronor (£4.7m) to take over The Pirate Bay site. GGF's Hans Pandeya told BBC that they are going to do this attractive approach to beat illegal fire-sharing. And thus, they are willing to pay file-sharers by legally sharing content with others.



With this, all users who always used to download files freely will change their point of view of downloading since TPB will now be asking payment for every file download which is legally uploaded. Users can now then join some group of seeders who began seeding the specified file.

A seeder is someone who shares a file with others through peer-to-peer technology like the BitTorrent protocol used by files indexed on The Pirate Bay.

But what is the risk? Will, as we all know, internet users always want a free oriented services, meaning, there is a possibility that TPB will only have less number of customers and their investment will just go to waste...my thoughts!
