IFPI Announces Agreement With PayPal to Cut Off Pirate Sites

Quotes
  • Other sites have opted to simply stop using PayPal altogether and simply use other methods like Flatr and Bitcoin to name two examples.
  • In fact, this is great news for competitors of PayPal because it means more reasons to move away from PayPal to them in the first place. The only entity I see losing out in a deal like this is PayPal.


On "unconfirmed sources" there was a satiric article [2011-07, USA, en]:
Massive Bitcoin Strike Shakes Mt. Gox Exchange

On Smart Money there was a critical article [2011-06-10, USA, en]:
The Bitcoin Triples Again

Quotes
  • To recap, it's is a purely online currency with no intrinsic value; its worth is based solely on the willingness of holders and merchants to accept it in trade.
  • Readers tempted to bet on the Bitcoin should resist, not least because it's unclear whether it will have any enduring worth.

Bitcoin - a Step Toward Censorship-Resistant Digital Currency

Quotes
  • To understand digital currency, one must first note that money in the digital age has moved from a largely anonymous system to one increasingly laden with tracking, control and regulatory overhead.
  • It's too early to say whether Bitcoin will be a success. Any new currency system faces an uphill battle, both technically and legally.
