    Idiots.So what if he had money?LOL.Hello!He made oink, one of the best music trackers that ever existed.If he had a great ideea then why not make some too out of it.It's not like he ripped users of money because you could get invites by having a good userclass too.It's nothing compared to SCT

    How could he be earning that money from the site though? Through donations from all the years? advertisement or distributing music uploaded on the site.

    its already mentioned in the article

    but by invitation only, and to be able to propose a friend users had to pay a donation of at least £5.
    200 000 users

    Police found almost $300,000 in donations from around the world in several of Mr Ellis’s Paypal accounts

    He had 300k in bank at the time. Doesn't mean he got it all from donations, but it could mean he used some as well. But what does it matter, he created one of the best trackers of all time, which spanned across 5 years.

    I personally hope the trial goes well, and that some of the jury members are pirates
