won in court the record labels sued him for their file sharing programs and was called-reluctantly-the ‘hero downloads’. Now, the developer Pablo Soto presents Torrents , find files ‘proof closures’ after a round of investment in which has achieved 400,000 euros .
project very ambitious, rests three “legs ‘: Torrents.fm is the file browser, Torrents.ms makes downloading the required software for downloads and Torrents.com is Site enabled ‘news’.
The initiative is not new, but now it wants Soto present in society. In a conversation with the Navigator, the developer explained that the first part of this company appeared on the Internet in February this year in testing, so ‘silent’ . Repair
The idea was already brewing in Soto’s head for some time. In fact, the ‘soul’ of this initiative is based on one of his projects, Foofind: An open finder to locate code in Internet, FTP and P2P networks all file types
.Thanks to the government
Notably
Foofind received two years ago assistance from the Ministry of Industry for a total of 1.6 million , part of the Plan Avanza 2 (130,000 as a grant and the rest, as loan), an amount for your project for being “an asset of substantial present and enormous future potential for our country” , in the words of the Government of Spain.
few days earlier, the Soto himself had won a lawsuit against the record companies, who accused him of being a parasite of the content industry and asked a compensation of 13 million .
His new project-
fail precisely technology developed through this public money – went ahead and was accelerated this year. “In July we launched the ‘downloader’ and work a little better the design of the website,” said Soto, adding: We “Eight weeks ago we went to the news site, with tabs and parts of the project” .
The domino ‘Torrents.com’
Despite the secrecy, a domain like Torrents.com -acquired this year by just 70,000 euros to its owner, a Valencian precisely and thus had acquired surnames the domain for over a decade could not go very unnoticed among the most active users.
Soto says the search and ‘indexes’ no less than 30 million Torrents that are shared by millions of users, thanks to the “constant crawl” the Web. “We use very good robots, the search engine is incredibly scalable,” said Soto, who notes that Foofind takes ‘indexed’ in its three years of existence more than 500 million files.
A search engine, such as Google
Being a search engine like Google, the draft Soto allows downloading of material (or not protected by copyright) and get ‘dodge’ the Spanish legislation that seeks to punish those who encourage unauthorized discharges . However, Soto’s will is, he says, to respect those rights. “All claims are handled and where appropriate are removed from the search links that infringe intellectual property” says.
In fact, there are enabled on the website a form for this purpose. “So far there have been 50,000 notifications, all were handled” , says Soto.
Economic profit
Torrents
project has successfully closed a round of financing in which has attracted 400,000 euros . Some investors, Spain, United States and Argentina are known ‘gurus’ who have invested in successful companies now, but who prefer to remain anonymous.
But if no investment, there must be profit expectations. How to earn money this project? Soto wants to run screaming annoying or invasive advertisements . “This is a very business model in the line of free software,” says Soto. “Everything has the license GPL-’crawler’ or spider web, the website, the downloader … – and it’s free, but we seek a model ‘freemium’ , that is, offer the user payment tools to enhance your experience, such as an analysis tool download, antivirus … “.
Thus, in the downloader, along with the three tabs that appear as (‘Find’ to search, ‘Download’ to control what you can download, and ‘Play’ to see what is already downloaded) appears another ‘Extras’ with some features that will be paid, and that ‘enrich’ experience. “We found that the ratio of people is very high returns” , Soto concluded, “and we know that the most intensive users pay very small amounts assessed by useful tools “.

# 5 @ emtecpro The record companies are not outdated. You can buy a song on itunes for just 90 cents, less than the value of a coffee. Different thing is you do not want to pay and take the free work of others. I would love for you to do the same to you … that at the end of the month you should pay and not your boss say: your model is outdated, now you do not pay, I appropriate your effort … I buy music online. But I give you an example because they are outdated. When the mp3 was already 90% of all the audio files in private exchanges record offered only DRM, or one closely linked to a particular format playback device. When everybody step to 320k audio quality record 128 were still lame, thank god for that time and removed the DRM. And when everyone was released to lossless quality for the record only reached the 320k. I buy music online now more than before because finally! the record sold in lossless. But still many are delayed because they offer only lossless albums when people claim to buy individual songs.

Glasgow. Your if these outdated. The singers are all millionaires for the sole reason that his music began to be able to copy (then vinyl) and the copy was expensive for the support. Thereafter the only reason they are millionaires is because the copies are cheap to make and charge the same or more. The job of a singer, you pay when you go to see him (tickets, TV) but not when it is heard by their own means. It’s like an architect will charge the entire street looking at her building. It makes no sense.

Honestly, I can not understand why people applauding a thief. I would like to distribute your work for free online? I like to write a thesis and others appropriated by it? Designing something and another quedase it without paying? Not only helps people to appropriate the work of others, but earn money doing it up … Anyway, Spain is different.

geniuses like Paul are not recognized and if pursued. The technology takes time and changing market, and both record labels, and film have to change the pattern of abusive prices that have so far used. Thanks Paul

a good torrent search engine, say a specific search engine. It does not generate any torrents or stored in own server. Google does something similar just to enhance the search needed to add the word torrent text you want. The record nighters who know neither demanding nor :-)) Confirming that are totally out of the wave.
