Kazaa/Altnet To Pay Users For Trading Content
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."
As always, links to pictures will be posted.

AWWWWW.... JEA-YUH!!! Blaine Hilton in the hizzy!
Please note that I cannot post this under my real identity.
My life and those of my family would be in jeopardy if I did.
My name, for purposes of this expose, shall be "Ken". I am a molecular
biologist in my mid 40's. In the early 1990's I was hired on by the US
government to perform work on what was then called "Project BioHole". The
purpose was to create a man-made object from biological components
which would be able to create a mini-black hole at will. This directional
black hole would be useful for so many things we thought. Our government
had much more nefarious intentions, as you will soon find out.
In July of 1998 we had our first prototype. This mild mannered creature
would, at command, create the proto-hole which would instantly suck in
any material objects within a 20 metre radius.
After the first several weeks of stellar testing, the following memo was
received:We scientists were in shock! Our creation, this mild, gentle creature was to
be used by our military to annihlate enemy troops on foreign battlefields.
Immediately, Robert Oppenheimer's words when he saw Trinity explode echoed
in my head "I am become death: the destroyer of worlds." Indeed; we
had brought this creature to being and the nameless, faceless bureaucrats would
use it as a weapon of mass destruction.
There was only one thing left to do: we had to destroy our creation.
In an early morning during the Spring of 1999 three fellow scientists and I
went to the cage where we kept our lifes' work. The creature looked at us with
almost human emotions showing in its eyes. Certainly it looked humanlike, but
our foolish genetic experiments led us to think we were gods.. This was no
human; it was just tissue.
We led the creature to a van parked nearby. We drove to a predetermined spot
in the woods. I think the beast knew the end was near, yet panic didn't appear.
We walked to a hole nearby, the creature followed. None of us had bothered to
hold the leash we would later remember.
It leaned over the hole. Another scientist held a 45 calibre pistol to the base
of the animal's skull and squeezed the trigger. It fell forward into the hole
without a whimper.
We stared and cried for what seemed like hours as our innocent creation lay there
dead, another victim of government. We buried the body and drove back to the compound
vowing never to speak of Project BioHole or our horrid deed again.
Then, in 2002 the other scientists started dying.
A car accident, a heart attack and an apparent suicide: I'm the sole survivor.
This story must not be forgotten. To ensure that all proof of Project BioHole
won't be erased, I'm including a link to the only known photograph of our
creation at the moment it creates the BioHole. The picture is here. Please, please tell your friends, family, media.. anyone who will listen.
I haven't much time left on this Earth, only you can carry on the truth about
Project BioHole.
