I depend on the advertisers you see in the site, which brings in a trifle (and I do mean trifle) more than my living and site expenses. And thanks to the bloody-mindedness of the entertainment cartels, my advertisers are a seriously endangered species. Two have already gone down. Cheers! p2pnet doesn’t rake in anything.

Others claim to be barely breaking even, while actually raking in $thousands each month. It's only when they put the site up for sale do they reveal its actual income, and by that time it usually comes as a shock to everyone. Not that I have anything against people making money, but many P2P sites, while pleading poverty the whole time, make a killing off the hard work of unpaid volunteers who provide both content as well as site management. I've yet to see a site that was open and honest about its finances, even the ones soliciting donations.
