RIAA and MPAA keeps suing people who download content, there is yet a way to be discovered to make money of these people.. this is such a huge market. RIAA is not even dealing with 0.001% of the problem here... advertise to this crowd.. you their habits, you know their taste.. monetize it.. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rahul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 1st 2007 6:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BitTorrent Entertainment Network disappoints, frustrates]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/01/bittorrent-entertainment-network-disappoints-frustrates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/01/bittorrent-entertainment-network-disappoints-frustrates/</guid><description><![CDATA[what isn't DRM killing?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[murc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 1st 2007 11:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BitTorrent Entertainment Network disappoints, frustrates]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/01/bittorrent-entertainment-network-disappoints-frustrates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/01/bittorrent-entertainment-network-disappoints-frustrates/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why bother with BitTorrent store when you can get all the same shows, movies, books, and stuff from a free, fast, and DRM free site like mininova or the piratebay. If you look at the Scope numbers for major franchises, they keep going up and up....The BitTorrent webstore...the exact opposite.

DRM doesn't work, heck, the pay-by-the-unit model doesn't even work with information.  Let's just pay more taxes, and have otherwise free access to everything.  Then you have your government grants for art production, open source software, creative commons, etc.<br><br>That is the solution to piracy.  We're sick and tired of paying for every little thing.  I want a pass to everything.  All software, all video, all music.  I don't care if I'm never even going to see it.  I just don't want to bother with their outdated business models.  That is the allure of torrents.  No crap from said business models slowing down progress.  Innovation.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ethana2]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 6th 2007 10:31PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
