I am dumbfounded that you would hold up GUBA as a success story. Let’s get real! GUBE peddles teen porn. I’m guessing you don’t have daughters. You said, “I am saving the best for the last: they will soon offer downloads that will play on the video iPod.â€? Teed-porn on my iPOD! How can that possibly be something to celebrate!? Highlighting, in glowing terms, how great GUBA is at using searching technology to create a wonderful business, is like complimenting the BTK serial killer on how effective he used nylon stockings to strangle his victims. Shame on you.

Cary Stronach

both of hese services are metered unlike various unlimited offerings, but this also allows them to provide a cheaper, better, quicker service.

if i were interested, i’d take advantge of both companies trial offerings and see which one you like more.

$14.95 for searching a free service? Leechers leeching off the leechers… who on Earth is going to pay for a service like this?

You used to pay ISP’s for bandwidth.

I trust the RIAA will come knocking on your door, not only for aiding the distribution of illigal material but also profiteering.
