A Super Great Suggestion

[QiikSand]

Pay the uploaders.

People upload stuff for the love of sharing, not to earn money from what is simply a hobby.

Then pay the uploaders who love to share but not to earn money from what is their simple hobby.

Let's say for example

I upload awesome movies on Jim's torrent site
and I provide constant seeding for my movies
and Jim is selling advertisement space on the page I upload my movies
and let's say that I get 1000 hits a day and Jim gets $$$$??? for
them 1000 hits a day from selling the space on the page I upload my
movies and provide the seeding for all of them all the time...
should I not get to share in some of that money?

Yes or no?

No, because you fail to see the irony in what you are suggesting.


You think you should get paid for your "work"

So do the people who made the content you used in your "work"


Next you will be wanting to copyright your torrents so no one else can upload them to other sites.

No, I actually think I should at least get a share in the money for my cost
if nothing else... Don't you?

You know...
the cost of my time
the cost of my electricity
the cost of my equipment maint.
the cost of my equipment upgrades.
the cost of my bandwidth.
the cost of my talent.

Especially when I am told by some they are rolling in the money for it.
Are they lying to me?

Under that thinking, they should pay downloaders too!!!

If OP gets $$$ per download, I should get a cut of that if I D/L it, because, without me, the U/Ler would make nothing!

Then I guess you should give the money back to your employer and tell them to pay you for taking their stuff.

I have another great super suggestion...

Torrent sites....Stop treating uploaders like they owe you for the privileged of giving you

the cost of their time
the cost of their electricity
the cost of their equipment maint.
the cost of their equipment upgrades
the cost of their bandwidth.
the cost of their seedboxes
the cost of their talent and expertise in encoding and ripping.

At least that would be a good start would it not?

Your sense of entitlement is astounding.

I think you owe me for taking the time to respond to you.

And the owners of this forum for providing you an environment to post your opinions.


If you feel you aren't being properly compensated, start your own site to share on where you can get $$$$ of money, or perhaps quit making torrents and find a better paying job.

Now this is funny.

I take it that my 2 suggestions were not well received...
But it is not like I would be caught by surprised by it.

Oh well...Rome wasn't built in a day nor did it cease to exist in a day.
Time is on my side.

You know Moe...you got my old thinker a thinking...I am a novice at all this so bare me out 
and give me your expert opinion remembering that I am completely a moron when it comes to
all this I am trying to figure out.

I have a little cash saved up...I could get me a server and make it into a tracker
then get me a web site with lots of bandwidth you know sign a long term contract and get
a whale of a deal for both the server and web site or hell I could buy my own server if I so desired
...then set it up for a torrent site like you know...1337... then go to all the advertisers and line all that up so as to when they would come on board..then I would contact the reps of the copyright holders and say...
How much is it gonna $$$ me to do what I am gonna do with your pirated copyrighted movies?
Then they will say this and I will say that and somewhere along the middle we will make a deal...
Then bing bota boom....

I am in business.
What do you say Moe?
Is this crazy or what?
