Capitalism Doesn't Always Work
This article makes some interesting (if not surprising) statements about trying to use Napster-like software to make money.
Apparently, companies trying to capitalize on file trading software (Napster, Scour, etc.) have been largely unsuccessful, at least revenue-wise. Gee. I wonder why. It seems that VC firms are unwilling to fund companies based on technology developed underground to basically fascilitate piracy. What a surprise.
Maybe if these stupid bastards had been part of the movement in the first place, they might understand a thing or two. This not only goes for MP3s, but the internet in general. Most of the people trying to make money with they internet not only don’t understand it, but don’t even want to. They’ll get what they deserve, eventually.
