Their projects only succeed if they use illegal content to push them.

This was also the reason youtube succeeded and right now they are only selling ads for about 4% of all content, because for the rest of the content, the original post doesn't own the copyright.

Yeah it definitely didn't workout for the YouTube founders. Better luck next time I guess.
