Private FTP sites seem to be more common among those who trade unlicensed, copyrighted material for profit. This is clearly criminal. Certainly this isn't what your average P2P user is doing.
Has anyone ever done a money trail investigation regarding this? The only people I ever thought was making money off of copyrighted material was the people selling "warez CDs" in the small ads in the paper, and that was 5-8 ago. Back then it was quite common for people to pay to get a CDR with stuff, I haven't heard about that in a long time now. I would believe that most of the money now being made is from counterfit software where people put up basically a whole organisation with printing presses for manuals, real CD/DVD pressing equipment and perhaps even the holographic mark, and shrinkwrap it all and sell it as the real thing. That has very little to do with p2p, though. I am not aware of any money changing hands in p2p. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike () swm pp se
