Jumping The Sh-, wait. What? Jumping The..Bay?
In perhaps one of the most naive business moves I have ever seen, The Pirate Bay has become a "digital peer-to-peer distribution torrent store." A company has purchased The Pirate Bay. To turn it in to a store. The Pirate Bay. A store. Where things are purchased. For money.
“The Pirate Bay is a site that is among the top 100 most visited Internet sites in the world. However, in order to live on, The Pirate Bay requires a new business model, which satisfies the requirements and needs of all parties, content providers, broadband operators, end users, and the judiciary,” said Pandeya.
“Content creators and providers need to control their content and get paid for it. File sharers’ need faster downloads and better quality,” he added.
I won't even bother bolding the parts about faster downloads and better quality. Honestly, scene groups provide better quality releases of games than most publishers do. Why? Less bloat due to the removal of DRM.
I nod my head for Lundstrum.. I would do the same were I capable.
