This Posting has TWENTY more elements to add! Please be patient!I don't know WHAT to make of this yet. Apparently CNET was a "Partner" with a company called "TrialPay" to encourage FASTER Payment for another software offer? I find it interesting that CNET pitched this to the CNET Download.com software Uploaders. Is this how CNET profited from LimeWire? Was this part of it?

Good stuff and I remember using Cnet for all my software downloads. At that time they were one of the only sites that had it all in one place and wrote reviews for almost everything they offered.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like to me when you look at how long Limewire was offered and all the reviews it had received, that Cnet/Zdnet had a very high vested interest in seeing that the software did well. This is beyond the click and pay scheme and looks like they had some sort of ownership stake in the software or company itself.
I will share your blog and follow you.
Keep up the fight and take care.
