Correction needed.

Mr. Or Kuntzman, the ceo, is sneaking his perfidious tentacles into torrent sites.

QUESTION!

What happened to Securo, the free spyware program his previous company Idium paid a bunch of affiliates to push?

And how did a free program like Securo pay for the cost of all that promotion? See:

It’s damn hard to get a copy of Securo now, I wonder why. There is one copy left, if a leet haxrr wants to decompile it.

Money at some point also ends up talking for many site owners since heavily used sites cost money to run. If a proposition is too good to pass up, it would not be a surprise either that many would put their own personal ethics as well as whatever principles they stood for aside. Many site owners are also excellent at the art of spinning words (like Apple’s Steve Jobs) to their own personal advantage and would have no problems selling out so long as they can hide that truth from the general userbase (else you end up with the kind of vitriol that some Empornium members are taking part in as well as the general boycotting of sites possibly associated with TP; even if they don’t have all the facts straight). With regards to BT sites though, there is a fine line because of the nature of such sites. It wouldn’t be surprising to find complex sheltering going on in order to hide the money trail. Most site owners would likely be laying low and not drawing attention to themselves with that money until they decide to “cash out and disappear”.

History has shown that there will always be people and businesses who will flow to where the money is at and this one seems to be no exception. Anyone who thinks likewise is naive to the realities when big money is involved.
