Given G is upto now basically a one trick pony ( ad/sense/words) if they push for "significant revenue from other sources" ( G's excursions into "other areas not exactly shining in their profitability ) I think that they may find that they will be "flogging" in both senses a dead horse..

Unless the plex wins the rights to all the books that dont "opt out" ..

Or goes into "legit" movies or music distribution ( which will make the ISP's scream ) as opposed to what it does now ..shows you where the "shares" and the torrents are ..even caches them ..and then washes it's hands as to the consequences ..

Why didn't that defense ( "not on our servers guv we was only pointing the way and running ads on the page" ) work for pirate bay ? Could it be that some companies who profit from ignoring copyrights and slapping ads on their pages have bigger pockets than others ..but only the same ethos ..

Mr Baggini's kids must be telling daddy that they each want their own yacht ..and an island to moor each one on ..investment managers for asset management companies ..uruk hai
