Part 2
AussieMatt:
Since there's been some confusion over how the program
works, I think it's best if we move on to the demonstration.
In this demonstration, I will show you how Peer Impact
works.
Chris:
Can we then take turn downloading videos?
AussieMatt:
No,
like I said before you can't download videos
Gareth:
You're still saying that?
Chris:
Well then I'm off. If I can't download a video of a
woman pleasuring her lover there's no point in staying.
David:
heehee...Finchy!
AussieMatt:
First, I'll show you how to download a song.
Gareth:
How much money will you make from the download?
AussieMatt:
Well...no, I won't make money from downloading. I'll
be purchasing the song.
Tim:
This is a pay service Gareth, you won't be making any
money, you'll be spending it.
Gareth:
No, that's not true. Right on their Website it states
Download, join and get paid.
David:
Well, you can't believe that now can you? If they can't
spell correctly there are bound to be several errors
on their Website.
AussieMatt:
That's not an error!
Gareth:
So I'm right.
AussieMatt:
Well
no, not quite. Songs cost around $0.99USD to download
but once you download it you can share it with others
and you can get up to 10% on each transaction. So if
1 person downloads the whole song from you, you'll make
$0.099.
Tim:
10 cents. That's it?
Gareth:
That means I would have lost money? That can't be right.
Don't you have a manual you can use to double check
this?
AussieMatt:
Look, you won't make a profit by using
Peer Impact. That's not what it's about...
Gareth: Of course it
is, it says so several times on the Website. Right here
it says make money...here it says earn money...
AussieMatt: It's not about the money.
It's about sharing...
David: Sharing with
your fellow man.
AussieMatt: Peer Impact allows artists
to get paid by using peer to peer technology.
David: Innovation, yeah.
Using 21st century tools.
AussieMatt: Umm...yes. It's about giving
artists a new way to promote themselves. Stores are
no longer needed for...
David: It's about breaking
down barriers, yeah? Tearing down walls. Bringing everyone
together.
AussieMatt: Yes...please can I continue?
David:
Yeah sure, go on.
Gareth:
Wait. This means that if I download a song and then
resell it, I'll be taking a huge loss.
Dawn:
Not only that Gareth, you might not get anything back
at all.
AussieMatt:
The ability to get some money back is just a bonus...
Gareth:
Well I won't sell a song for only 10% of what I paid.
When I resell I'm going to set the price at $3USD per
song.
David Brent: Yeah, buy
low sell high
AussieMatt: No...this isn't the stock
market.
David Brent: But you
can learn from it.
AussieMatt: You can't set your own prices.
You can only get back a certain amount each time someone
downloads a song from you.
Gareth:
So, despite what your company claims on their Website,
this means that my net profit will be higher if I use
a free P2P program instead of this one even though I
won't be making any money.
AussieMatt: You're missing the point.
Brent: Oohh...caught
in a lie.
AussieMatt:
NO I'M NOT! Look, you're all misunderstanding the whole
concept! Besides, you'll be getting peer cash back,
not actual money.
Gareth:
What?
AussieMatt:
Meaning peer cash can be used on future purchases.
Gareth:
Well that's rubbish. I'll just sell the songs on eBay
instead.
AussieMatt:
NO! You can't do that!
