Don't worry son, you'll get Federal Government Witness Protection. Choose a name you like, a place you like, and a job you like.

i wish it was as good as it sounds. whether you trade or sell or buy or expect a rep point you are still exchanging one thing for another.

true, but selling invites is a different animal entirely.. invite sellers profit from other peoples work, and on something that is meant to be free.. traders gains access to other sites by trading, but they don't earn hard money from it.

There are quite a few torrent sites out there making huge amounts of money from their p2l systems. Look at TL for example, they make a killing and everyone loves them, and they arent the only ones. Invite sellers might make a few bucks but its nothing compared to some sysops. Neither is right imo, but i find it funny that so many people object so strongly to one and dont really care about the other. Everyone defends those p2l systems by saying "well no one forces you to donate", well no one forces you to buy an invite. Ask yourself... are the two really so different?

AKA... hes not gonna give you one for free if he can get $120 for it. Where the trackers themselves give accounts for free and could care less if your gonna donate $25 of $0.

The fact of the matter is you dont have to pay any money to anyone if you dont want to. You're always free not to pay to leech, just as you are free not to buy an invite and instead try to gain access by a legitimate route. Thats not my point. My point is that there is no real difference in terms of morality between profiting by selling leech on your site, to profiting from selling invites to a site. Both boil down to making money through access to copyright works. So I dont get why people seem to think that one is so bad, but the other is ok. This guy might sell an invite for a few bucks (I cant see anyone paying $120 as you suggest), but the TL sysops make thousands every month.. why is this guy worse?
