guiltypirate.com
Allows you to make anonymous donations to artists/authors/software devs that you've ripped off | |
Feeling guilty about your bulging, illicit digital assets?
Just make an anonymous donation through this site to the artists/companies of your choice and sleep easy.
They'll take a 5%-10% cut to cover their running costs which involves contacting the copyright owners and handling the transactions.
You
win, the artists win and the people running the website win. The publishers/distributors probably lose.
And guiltypirate.com is currently available.
$10.99

//They'll take a 5%-10% cut //" They'll" being the site you propose? At what point are you (err, the site) not an agent in the strictest sense of the term? rather pay the artist, most of them have created the ability for you (the lisetner or pirate) to do so... |

Many guilty pirates may find there is no way to pay for their bounty. For example some TV series are not available to either download or buy on DVD.
Some guilty pirates may not want to be a further burden on the environment by buying physical media.
Or, since they have already 'paid' the distribution cost to acquire the digital asset, they may not want to pay a digital distributor to take a healthy cut (significantly larger than guiltypirate.com's proposed cut).
Some may not philosophically agree with the corporations that control the vast majority of media distribution, yet want to support the artist. |

There is nothing that helps guilty assets like a good assuaging, digital, bulging or otherwise. The secret beauty of the proposed site should be that no assets go to the distributor/ publisher or the artist. Only the assuager gets paid but every artifice and device can be used to make sure that the guilty is well and truly assuaged. |
