The “new” pirate bay will pay filesharers
BBC news published an article with some more details on the plans of the GGF with The Pirate Bay. “We are going to set up a system where the file-sharer actually makes money,” stated Hans Pandeya, the chief executive in Global Gaming Factory X, in his exclusive interview with BBC. “One of the biggest hurdles in overcoming illegal file-sharing was that there was zero cost to the users, while legitimate sites required users to pay for content. The only way to make something more attractive than free was to pay users to share files.”
