That's true. No one MUST pay for the
service. Files are there to download for free. What you're
paying for when you sign up with one of those services is the immediate access
and more bandwidth. As far as reserving more bandwidth for their
paying customers, that's their business choice.
No, this wont work.
UTIL_FindEntityByClassname() searches the entity list for the classname

Since each time through the loop, you're telling

Well of course I won’t complain –
I want people to be able to download my mod.
Additionally, the law isn’t reactive
like you’re implying. With large corporations such as GSI, I shouldn’t
have to patrol FP looking for violations – they should not be breaking
the law in the first place.

Telefragged's filesystem is all-but dead, cdrom.com is dead.

Actually, they do get pay per seen. it's called the impression system. if a
