Most people hear think your techniques haven't made you anything more than beer money. So why waste your time?
I could understand it if you were here trying to sell your service. But you aren't. I could understand you wanting to make a point by showing proof, but you never have shown any proof. But what makes me wonder the most is this: If you really have discovered what you say you have and it is so valuable you are willing to turn away from a deal that could make you millions why are you here talking about different parts of it?

i learn something from every experience
for example i added the "i can't use it money back guarrentee" to our offer and it increased signups significantly (and so far no one has ever taken up the offer yet) because of the back and forth with robbie.

Contrary to what you may believe there are some very smart people on this board who have made millions and been part of some major online innovations. If they read your posts and start doing their own research they might just figure out what you are up to. One truism of business is that no matter how smart and talented you are, there is someone out there that is smarter and more talented.

the cost of doing the same research would be astronomically high so i doubt that would happen.

So why bother? It isn't like you have changed any minds.

i learn something from everything here (see above)

What else makes no sense is that (if I understand it correctly) you are willing to share your techniques with the full board with the stipulation that if Robbie uses them he has
to release all of his content into the public domain. If your techniques are so valuable why would you just give them away to prove a point?
|
because he goaded me into making the offer and i am now honor bound to do it if he accepts. I am only giving away 5 of 543 building blocks so i still have stuff to sell.

Also, there is no way for you to enforce this agreement. If Robbie uses your technique how are you going to force him to put all his content into the public domain?

think about for a second the safe harbor provision give total immunity as long as you obey VALID take down request
one of the conditions of a valid take down request is a declaration of a good faith belief of infringement under penalty of perjury.
if he was to agree, then i could simply ignore any take down request he make to me, and still be 100% protected by simply pointing the post he agreed to public domain status and demanding an explaination why he has a good faith belief that public domain content is an infringement.

It seems to me that if I had some kind of formula that made me a lot of money from traffic and users that almost everyone writes off as worthless I would keep my mouth shut, keep my nose to the grindstone and cash in as much as possible before the word gets out, the technology changes or the gravy train comes to an end.

given the conditions (cost of research. fair use friendly liciencing) gfy is a canary in the coal mine. when people start agreeing with me, that when stuff i am talking about might start to be at risk. of course it only 5 out 543 blocks so it not really a big deal if that does happen.
