Jaman or what you cannot find on the Pirate Bay
Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in Found on the net with No Comments
I recently learned about Jaman and I liked what I saw. While most people think that piracy is about saving money I think that that is only part of the story. The other part is that content is easy to find, without commercials, in the language of your choice and unrestricted. But the problem with piracy is that the principle of torrenting is crowds, now what happens when there´s very few people on the net interested in watching a certain movie? That´s when Jaman kicks in, it´s about long tail movie content of the kind that I frequently love and can rarely find. Surprisingly the sustainability of Jaman may actually derive from the fact that most of its content does not have enough collective bandwidth to make it worthwhile to copy.
