The Toll Piracy Takes on Shareware

The Toll Piracy Takes on Shareware 01/04/2004 09:33 PM

On Piracy: Nick Bradbury, creator of TopStyle and FeedDemon explains the damage done by the casual, supposedly harmless, pirating of shareware. To find out the depth of the problem, he created a version of TopStyle that was supposedly cracked, and posted it on a warez site.

This cracked version pinged home the first time it was run, providing a way for me to find out how many people were using it. To my dismay, in just a few weeks more people had used this cracked version than had ever purchased it. I knew piracy was rampant, but I didn't realize how widespread it was until this test.

The Next Attempt At Micropayments

The Next Attempt At Micropayments 11/17/2003 03:08 PM
Stop me if you've heard this one before... Suddenly, new micropayment technologies are hot, and everyone is talking about the billions of dollars that could be made by selling content for just a little bit of money. All of these estimates use silly math. They talk about how a large number of little transactions adds up to a large number. That may be true, but it makes a huge, unstated, assumption: that there will be a large number of transactions. Notice that the article linked here never looks at things from the consumer side to see if people actually want to be nickeled and dimed for every piece of content they find online. There may be some places where micropayment fees will work - but it's going to be difficult to make significant money that way. First off, people pay money to get online because they want to access content. If everything is going behind a paid wall, suddenly they feel like they're getting double-billed. Why do they need to pay to get online if there's nothing there? Furthermore, each bit of "paid content" competes with free content. Admittedly, if the blocked off content is very very good or comes with some other advantages, some people will pay for it. However, the vast majority of folks will hunt out a "good enough" substitute that they can find for free. Also, the article completely ignores the important comparison that content providers need to make if they're going to block off content. It talks about the potential to make money off of micropayments, but that's a useless number by itself. The important point is whether or not they can make more from micropayments than they could from offering free content supported by some other business model? I can see plenty of content providers jumping on this bandwagon because they haven't been able to figure out how to properly create an online site that makes money - but they may discover that it doesn't do them very much good. There is some content for which micropayments will work - but it's a very limited set - and most content providers aren't going to think this out before throwing up a paid wall.

Mark Frauenfelder: Mike of Techdirt sez: A year ago, you linked to the story we had about the Greater Toronto Airport Authority telling the site Urinal.net that it was against the law to mention their name (and put a picture of one of their urinals) on their site.

Well, now it appears that someone else is reacting badly to that same site. Not only did the company (the Marco Beach Ocean Resort) say that Urinal.net couldn't mention their name, they also claimed that their cease & desist letter could not be forwarded or shown to anyone... Link< /a>
