For the love of all that is sacred. What is the feckin point in stealing and sharing a "beta" version of a programmer that nobody is using yet anyway.
Effective sharing is about the number (and commitment) of people involved, not the actual programme. That is just a vehicle to allow them to share effectively.
Who wants a "beta" version of a programme that nobody is using yet. There are so many other ways to get files, that actually work and have tangible results.
This looks like another ESV to me, the pattern is very similar. End up with a piece of software and a forum which jealously protects itself, but not enough users to make it worthwhile.
That's the problem when businessmen try to get involved in this sort of thing. They create a business model based on certain assumptions, which are wrong.
As I have said elsewhere, good luck I hope it works out for you.
i could give shit
