If there is one constant in our online world it is the whining and moaning from old media, and to a growing extent new media, about how they are losing money because consumers don’t want to pay the same price for electronic versions of goods as they do for the actual in-hand physical version.
In fact there is a post currently on Fast Company titled Internet Users Still Cheap, Spend Only $1 to $10 on Digital Content, and while it might be a great pageview grabbing headline I find it rather insulting. In the post Austin Carr writes:
The digital marketplace is the likely savior of most industries. That is, if consumers are willing to spend money on the web. Do we expect too much for free online?
Sorry but it’s not just a matter of wanting everything for free, even though that is still a driving factor, but rather, I believe, that the consumer understands a very fundamental difference between online electronic versions of physical goods and the goods themselves – it’s availability.
You see when you walk into a store to buy a product you can see that there are only so many of copies of the item that is available. Whether it be a movie DVD, a game, a book or any item that is inherently available in electronic form, the price of a physical version is based on the cost of actually manufacturing those physical copies and making them available.
Yet when you go to buy that online in its pure electronic form those incurred costs change, and change radically. The consumer almost instinctively gets this and that is something that content producers continually try to ignore. The reality is that online electronic goods shouldn’t cost the same, or in some cases more than their brick and mortar equivalents.
Online consumers aren’t cheap. If they were businesses like Amazon or even the many t-shirt businesses would be able to stay in business. The consumer is smart enough to know that a physical product, whether it be a t-shirt, or a book, or even a physical copy of a movie or music album, has a cost to produce and are more than willing to pay those prices.
So when a consumer turns around and says that they don’t want to pay physical goods prices for the electronic versions they aren’t being cheap and to suggest otherwise is insulting their intelligence. They are however more than willing to pay what they consider to be a fair price as long as you make it easy for them.
According to the affidavit, the investigation included the co-operation of authorities in Canada, France and Germany.
As for code, the LOIC DDoS software believed to be used by Operation Anonymous remain available on the social code site Github and on SourceForge. Thousands of people have downloaded it from those sites. The software allegedly makes it easy for a user to donate their computer's bandwidth to repeatedly messaging a target server until it is rendered inaccessible by other users.
The ephemeral group Anonymous, or Operation Payback, co-ordinated a series of such attacks earlier this month against Paypal, Mastercard, Visa and others. These global leaders in money transfer were criticized for preventing their customers from donating money to the controversial website Wikileaks, despite the site having been convicted of no crimes.
Clearly a sufficient number of people in the FBI believe the denial of service attacks may constitute felony-level damage to computer systems, but others have argued that the campaign falls broadly within the tradition of non-violent civil disobedience and political protest.
FBI Agent Allyn Lynd, whom The Smoking Gun reports signed the affidavit, has been in the technology news media before. He lead a 2009 raid on at least two Texas web hosts over an alleged federal crime concerning unpaid bills to AT&T and Verizon. Those raids disrupted a number of co-located but unrelated businesses, including some that allege the disruption cost them millions of dollars.
In this latest affidavit, Lynd argued again that he may need to disrupt some other servers temporarily in order to achieve his goal of determining which servers were relevant to his investigation. Due to the document's incomplete publication, whether any sense of irony was appreciated is unclear.
No information has been made available to date regarding any FBI or other law enforcement investigation of the denial of service and other technical attacks made against the Wikileaks website.

Making Money on line – Exchange $469.90 for over $10,000
Yes, making money on line is not easy, unless you know what to do. There are a ton of resources that you can use to make a lot of money online, and you can actually do this all for free. It is amazing the amount of money you can could be making on line without investing any money of your own to begin with. To begin with the process of making money online, I recommend that you download this un-named free e-book (normally sells for $15). It's just a short 4 page introduction to making money on line and how to start out and start making some free money!
Now, the title talks about exchanging $470 for over $10,000. That's what we'll go over in this part of the series. So how does this whole money making thing play out? It is actually outrageously easy.
Step 1 – Join Prowealth Solutions. I'm sure you've heard of it already by now. It officially launched on the 15th of Sept 2006 and is one of the fastest growing programs. Prowealth Solutions pays you in 4 different ways:
Fast Start bonus - $25 per person you sign up.
- Monthly Matrix bonus – You are paid $1 per person in your 3x6 matrix. That can total up to $1092 per month. The cool part – you don't have to sponsor anyone yourself to get this. It can all be spillover and your down line's work.
- Matching Bonuses – You're paid 50% matching bonus on your direct referrals, 30% on the second level and 20% on the third level.
- Monthly Bonus Pools – 5% if you're bronze (3 personal recruits), 3% for silver (10 recruits or 3 bronzes), 3% for gold (30 recruits or 3 silver). 3% if you're platinum (100 recruits or 3 gold) and 5% for diamond members (3 platinum recruits).This totals to around $32 for bronze members, $75 for silver, $350 for gold, $2100 for platinum and $6800 for diamond members on top of everything else that they're already making.
Clearly, this is one of the best pay systems out there and you can be making a lot of money on line doing this, if you can recruit people. Isn't that the hardest thing though? Everyone can make money with MLM systems, if only you can get recruits. So how do you do it? You DONT!
This is one of the best things I've seen in recent history – you can get over 100 paid sign ups for $400 with a company named diamond central. Unlike most other guaranteed sign ups, these are not free members who're given a few cents to sign up under you as a free member, these are all people who WILL join under you in Prowealth Solutions.
Total Cost - $400 (for 100 sign ups) + $69.90 (for prowealth solutions - $34.95 for start up + $34.95 for the first month) = $469.90
Now let's see how much money you'll be making:
Fast Start bonuses - $2500, because of the fast start bonuses.
- Monthly Matrix bonus – At least $100, but it could be a lot more.
- Matching bonuses – based on the above, they can be a lot more too!
- Monthly Bonus Pools - $2100.
- This is the clincher – As a platinum member you get $1 for every person who becomes a paid member in the entire system in the Powerline after you. That's about $1 per minute - $60 per hour without doing anything!
Total at the end of the system (about 3 months at most) - $2500 + $300 + $700 + $60x24x30 (for just one month) = $46,700.
How's that for a return? So why did I say $10,000 in the title? Because $46,700 sounds like a big hoax! But it's possible, if only you're willing to do it. Many people never really experience God's grace because they refuse to believe that it's possible for them to sin (their pride) or that God is incapable of forgiving them because their sin is too great (belittling God). It's possible, you just need to analyze it. Look at it intellectually – is it possible? Yes! Then why let your emotions ruin the party for you?
Is it a scam? I'm already doing this! There's no way they can pretend like they signed up 100 people under you! You have your own tracking systems and you can know for sure that you are making money online regardless. Secondly, I've spoken to them many times myself, there responses have always been prompt and sincere. If there's a mistake they clarify and try to fix, but don't pretend like it never happened.
That's how easy it can be making money online. Now you're probably wondering – how do I make that initial $470? You'll learn how to do make the initial money on line without making an investment of your own in here, and in the next edition of – Making Money Online!
