Zeropaid.com forums work with Digital Rights Management

[monyak]

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about Zeropaid.com working with the RIAA and selling IP addresses.

Here is part of an article I found about Zeropaid.com and all of the proof that is needed showing that Zeropaid.com does work with the bad guys.


In effort to promote Digital Rights Management, Mr. Chris Hedgecock, owner of Zeropaid.com, travels around the United States to various cities and meets directly with the Media companies and their investors to convince them to purchase his Pay 2 Play methods. On October 8th, at 1:30 p.m., Mr. Hedgecock is scheduled to appear and speak on behalf of Digital Rights Management at Content Worlds seminar on new technology. http://www.contentworld.com/conferen...on_glance.html


In a AVNONLINE.COM interview with Mr. Chris Hedgecock, the owner of Zeropaid.com requested that all DRM activists and investors come to his teen portal to learn the habits of P2Prs so that they can be used against the P2P community.

Christopher Hedgecock, executive vice president of EmpireDRM (www.empiredrm.com), recommended Webmasters visit sites like ZeroPaid.com and subscribe to newsletters like DRMDaily (www.drmdaily.com) to familiarize themselves with the concepts behind P2P networks and their popularity, and then begin transforming their content into material that will promote their businesses and make them money even if it's stolen and traded on the big commercial networks.
By flooding P2P networks with DRM-protected content that forces out the illegal "free" stuff, Webmasters can head off file swappers at the pass, creating a sort of "pay-to-peer" network, according to Hunter. Hunter's company, for example, has developed DRM software that wraps legitimate content in such a way that it becomes more popular than the pirated versions in the file-sharing networks' search engines. When users open the legitimate editions, they can be made to pay for the content or provide personal information (like e-mail addresses) before they are allowed to view it.

"People are going to steal your stuff; they're going to trade it," Tucker said. "DRM makes P2P a good thing because your content is protected and 'viral.' The only way people can tackle P2P is to stop fighting it. It's out there; it's going to stay. "Don't fight the train," he said. "It's left the station."

So the stories about Zeropaid.com owners working and cooperating with the RIAA & MPAA are true afterall. Be safe and stay away from their forums.
