Apni ISP Copyrights Issue

Being a regular internet user from the sub-continent its highly likely that you have heard about a website known as “ApniISP.com”… And if you know about this website, you would also know what it is famous for. Yes,  it got famous for offering people with the option to download pirated latest Indian songs. You are most likely to find all the new songs there, and with that aspect, it is a great offering for the internet public.

As a business idea, it is great as it is offering people what they need. I respect the person who launched it and I do respect people who are coming up with such wonderful ideas to cater to a certain need in the market and make money. The website drives tremendous amounts of traffic and is ranked 8,896 by Alexa out of the millions of website. It is ranked 100th most visited website from Pakistan.

A few days ago, someone I know, pointed out that ApniISP.com used to make money out of Google Adsense. It still is making money by Adsense as it currently has a banner or two on its website by Google. Now my question is, isn’t offering pirated material against the Google terms of service? Google bans such accounts if they find that someone is violating its TOS. Its funny that its been ages but no one pointed this out.

But the good part for ApniISP.com is that they have diversified themselves in terms of their revenue streams by selling ads to local clients. I don’t know if Google will ever find this out, but until they don’t, ApniISP.com is going to continue making some good money out of this.

Adious!
