Learn from the british… say
Learn from the british… say it ain?t so. US media giants could take a note from a small british company that is useing a model for the distribution of digital media that has it raking in the dough. Their theory is simalar to the one used by my friend?s very popular 3gscreensaver website. The theory goes that if you provide all content for free but include a small icon of the company in the corner, and then provide higher quality versions of the same media, however missing the small icon, for a small price, people will then download like crazy and figure it is easier to pay a tiny bit than to pirate, thus stimulating huge sales. So briliant, so simple.
futher note if AOL can get away with putting a patent on something as simple as AIM I think Nata2 should look into putting a patent on his simple tech. 
just a thought.
