Eek! Making Millions Off P2P

I doubt they're making as much as those figures indicate.

Advertising and bundled software many not sound like a recipe for making big money but in the P2P industry it can be enough for even the smaller P2P companies to rake in millions of dollars. Industry observers say that Sharman Networks' annual revenue is estimated to be $175 million and court documents show that much smaller players like StreamCast have earnt many millions from P2P. There is certainly some serious money to be made out of P2P.

Slyck details a P2P rich list based on some known earnings and some industry estimates. It is no surprise that those who created the most commercially successful P2P application of all time are also the biggest earners.
