Pyramid Scheme

Going to a conference we came across a vendor who is doing the same business strategy as ours. Only difference is their idea is the same as ours, but they have implemented it in P2P(Peer-to-peer). So here it is an amazing idea, done in old Napster, sort of style(P2P), they're going to use all the computer's resources whoever takes their software. Most Peer-to-peer network as soon as you install it in your system makes your system work as a server(meaning it takes majority of CPU %, and memory for its own use). So do you want to pay for a service, which takes a portion of your computer day in and day out? (It is like you pay a tenant to live in your house, who feeds on your food?) Maybe, I am wrong, please investigate on yourself what this is about?

So here we were me and my friend/partner(who introduced me to the business proposal) standing in the booth right across from them. We were being honest, fair and square asking all the client(videographer's from all over North America) to visit our fellow competitor's booth and decide it for themselves. We explained our business idea, our contest for videographers and bride/groom's.

Here they are, they are talking us down, by claiming that their market idea is backed up by ABC7, AOL(Here is another blog idea of how AOL gives me creeps, and anything related with AOL, I avoid). I left a day earlier and my friend was out there facing them all day. So what as business people, entrepreneur you will handle this situation ( cut-throat competition)? What is your take on this ethical situation?

Think about this, Why would you pay money for a company(for uploading and sharing video), who use my computer's resources for their business model? Does it appeal to you?

i'm saying your approach with the customers and not bad-mouthing the other guys shows a lot of integrity.

but, enough about pyramid screens... when you gonna blog again, Vijay?
