Are Bay Pirates versus business on information?

    From the book of Alexei Polikovsky:
    Twenty-five million people living on the pirate bay have created the largest community in world history, which does not recognize money and rejects the business of information.
    I read these lines and think it’s good to be naive. The community may not recognize, but the creators - fully recognize.

    According to the calculations of one of my knowledgeable colleagues, the creators of the Bay make about $ 20,000 / day on advertising. How? They sell three graphic banners. They have 3 times more visitors than on Demonoid. We’re watching Adbrite , Demonoid has 4 million banner impressions per day. Consequently, the Cove has 12 million impressions. Again with Adbrite, the Demonoid graphic banner costs $ 820 for 1 million impressions.

    We consider: (820 $ / M) * (12 M) * (3 banners) = $ 29520 / day, with 100% redemption of advertising.

    I myself am with both hands for the guys from the Pirate Bay, and above all - as excellent businessmen, PR managers and politicians. With this note, I just wanted to clarify: you should not think in utopian criteria, such as giving up money, etc. I doubt that, sitting on a cheap salary, dissatisfied with life, these guys would have so much fun shown a naked ass to megacorporations and would have easily turned the world upside down.
