Scour coming back?

[Doodoo]

I read a few days ago that Scour was coming back...except they were going to start charging. Anyone else hear this? Just saw the headline on yahoo a few days ago.

 

[Pretender]

Not surprised. They tested the waters by leaving, when they saw that people still wanted them and CuteMX was a joke, they realized there is potential. Following Napster's downhill path quite well, I must say.

CuteMX probably wouldn't be in the sad state it's in if it didn't shut down for over half a year. I'd be willing to pay a $1 a month fee to scour and napster if they would promise to deliver high quality stuff.

 

[ManSnake]

A dollar a month?? Try ten!!

 

[Pretender]

Napster wouldn't get a penny from me, but maybe Scour.

It won't be scour guys, some company bought it, they are incorporating digital rights stuff and probably a bunch of spyware to boot. I predict a quick painfull death for the new exchange...

 

[ForeverSilky]

If they think they're going to get away with charging $10 a month, they'll die a quick and painless death.

 

[Passions]

nah $1/month is too much, i would pay $.50 / month though

 

[goog40]

Why aren't there any napigator-like programs for scour so other people could run their own server I guess $1 a month would be reasonable, but only if they improved their servers(had problems connecting sometimes) and enough people shared stuff(maybe don't charge people if they share stuff and poeple download a certain amount from them or somethin).

How DID Napster make money in the past?

I've never used tha actual Napster program, only Gnapster and such so I don't know if there was advertising or anything...

 

[kami]

Napster should put some damn banner ads in their software. I wouldn't mind them, and that could probably keep them from charging the $5/month that they plan to...

 

[Pretender]

<< Why aren't there any napigator-like programs for scour so other people could run their own server >>

Probably because Scour came out a long while after Napster did, and no one has made (or figured out how to make) private servers. When they do, A Scour napigator-type program could be possible, but since scour was shut down, chances of that happening are much lower.

 

[Nutcase99]

It probably is I mean napster is going to start charging right? Do you guys have any idea when?

 

[ForeverSilky]

I think there is still going to be a free version of Napster. And the one you pay for is supposed to be better somehow.

 

[uncouth]

better for napster probably
