cash thumb1 The Pirate Bay will make us $40 Million a month: Says its bidder

They have big plans, inflated bubbles associated to monetizing their acquisition; The Pirate Bay. Global Gaming Factory X‘s CEO Hans Pandeya told Paid Content that he plans to make huge profits from TPB and he thinks those profits can well be around $40 Million…a month. How? Well Pandeya plans to monetize the file sharing service by selling user’ unused disk space to firms, the bandwidth to ISPs and he thinks that the ads on the site alone will make the proposed $40 Million a month. I am not sure how soon is this going to happen and how much of that money will be spent fighting lawsuits that The Pirate Bay is caught in more often than not.

The Pirate Bay after all the brouhaha that had been created around it for quite some time has been acquired by Global Gaming Factory X. The Swedish Software firm acquired the file sharing service for figure close to $7.7 Million and will complete the transaction by August this year. I am sure that the acquisition is not going to create any problems for the file sharing service in any manner as it’s driving force behind the site’s success and with new people coming in the site will have the necessary muscle to continue its drive towards success.
