Kazaa/Altnet To Pay Users For Trading Content

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-as-good-as-it-sounds dept.

mesozoic writes "News.com is reporting that Kazaa and Altnet are unrolling a setup where users are paid to distribute 'authorized content.' The article also mentions something about getting rid of unauthorized files, but is unclear on when and how. I'll be paying close attention to whether this P2P business model pans out; Sharman _has_ shown some shrewd business sense in the past."

    Kazaa can also pay me for the electricity I used to keep my computer on to download files on their slow network. Only 234098234098234098 hours remaing! How much respect must we give to Kazaa? Crappy implemented network, false files, movies encoded in various crappy codecs, pron files that feature ugly people getting Bukkaked.. How much do I have to take? Lastly, as a Mac User I am upset with Kazaa and the fact that it is mid-2003 and there *still* not a Kazaa client for the Mac. Yes, I'm a hypocrite because I'm missing the oppertunity to see ugly people being bukkaked. I consider it a lost cause.
