I would imagine the bands would love the publicity, and find a skilled publicist that is willing to donate to your efforts.

If I was, I could organise a benefit concert for myself. Anyhow, I really thought this was the end, but I'll be very happy to be wrong. We shall see. One thing's for sure. A lot of your friends will be well and truly pissed off if p2pnet <i>does</i> make it out alive. 8) Cheers! @ Sam I Am:

This isn't because I've suddenly come into some $$$. It's because I've just agreed a trial with a new advertiser and to earn anything, I'll need to have posts up. This is OK with me because I have to tell you, I <i>really</i> miss doing what I've been doing for all these years. So we'll see how it goes. :) Cheers! @ kcb19892000:

Well, if you are, I'm sorry it had to be this way. I really loved P2P.Net and I'm sorry I didn't offer support sooner. So I'll tell you what: I was really inspired by Quartz's message about 'sharing the cheese' and I will see what I can donate. But you have to promise that you'll come back, okay? I don't mean to pressure you, but a lot of people need more of the truth and the world truly needs people like you to wake it up. So thanks for everything. Jon, are you serious?

Guys like you, dreamers, artists can never stop doing what they believe in or telling the truth. That is human nature. Thus, I think you will continue or be back. We will all benefit from that. In the "we" included are artists who never get their royalties from the music industry and music lovers that are treated as criminal by that same music industry.

And as for the hosting, that's sorted (could be self-hosted as you suggest - at a push), but that's not the problem. The funding is to pay Jon to produce p2pnet INSTEAD of finding employment elsewhere. Up until now Jon has found funding from savings/advertising/sponsorship/patronage, but it has run out.

Simply "being" online is usually enough. Why not just run an Apache webserver from home and host the site? Or have a small webhosting company host it for next to nothing a year. Learn some web page development and have some volunteers help run the show. You don't need 40k a year to run this site, much less 40$. If you really want to keep the site up, you can. Take out a few of the bandwidth sensitive stuff on the page, or cut back on some content? You can keep it up and running if you want to. Dear Jon Newton, There is no need for this site to close down.
