trocas sem pirataria!

[Encontrei este artigo no NY Times curioso, já que fala nos criadores de um site que envolve trocas de artigos já experimentados. Será isto pirataria!? O que diriam as companhias de música e cinematográficas disto? Estará a roubar-lhes algum quinhão de dinheiro que eles deveriam receber?!]

Read It? Watched It? Swap It
For Heather Perlmutter, a 41-year-old investment portfolio manager in Manhattan, the Web site with the whimsical name made perfect sense. Like many Americans, she found herself awash in CD's, DVD's and VHS tapes that were seldom if ever played anymore. They just took up valuable space in the Upper West Side apartment where she lives with her husband and two young children.
Then a friend of a friend told her about Zunafish (www.zunafish.com), a new Web site that matches people with discs and tapes to trade — and video games and paperback books, too.
To the delight of her 7-year-old son, Ms. Perlmutter recently used the site to barter her tape of "Fried Green Tomatoes," the 1991 Kathy Bates drama in which an unhappy housewife befriends an elderly woman in a nursing home, for a tape of Steven Spielberg's digital dinosaur blockbuster, "Jurassic Park."
