Sounds like a duck...but...

Post by alex.barylski »

Just curious got this in an email by my dad the other day...he's convinced their legit and everything. :P

Still he wants my opinion...I say it's software like LimeWire or similar P2P that so long as you don't use it for copyrighted material your in the clear -- which of course is not what 99% of people use it for.

Looks kind of spammish in design, etc...but you never know...I'm interested to hear how you think their business model works...charge one time fee and refuse refunds???

Cheers,
Alex

I didn't get the email directly, Gmail would probalby block it...my dad sent me the link in an email, figured I'd check it out...

I'm more curious as to how they do it, than actually buying into it...

P2P systems are very easy to create, I think ive still go on one I made years ago on my site.

Just be carefull what your getting yourself into, you never know if its gonna be a nasty trojan or worm or maybee its clean? I dont know but BitTorrent is an easy solution if your realy looking for free Peer2Peer or is it just that type of TV p2p your looking for? You have to pay so make sure there is some security if you go ahead!
