Topsites - Jeff Howe article

Just read an article by Jeff Howe on internet piracy titled The Shadow Internet. I came across it when I was going through Times of India. It was kinda funny to see a political newspaper from India talking about internet piracy and specially an article published on Wired.com.

They start with a single stolen file and pump out bootleg games and movies by the millions. Inside the pirate networks that are terrorizing the entertainment business.”

The article is definately a good read to come to know how the whole scene works, the Pyramid structure and all the ppl who are involved in it. The best part is that the driving force behind the whole system is not money, but fame. People want to be the first and the fastest amonsgt peers and get the files asap.
