What.cd - Problems with donations and IFPI


Being a private torrent site, we don’t technically do anything illegal. However, not everyone agrees with this sentiment – especially, for some reason, payment transaction sites when the IFPI gets involved.
Since August, our donations have been down for much longer than they’ve been up, due mainly to payment providers caving to the demands of the IFPI. As you might imagine, it’s been a nervewracking time for us, and we’ve only been surviving by delving deeper and deeper into our savings.

However, those savings have effectively dried up. Expecting this, we launched a new, solid payment processing system recently – flattr. Unfortunately, flattr is an unfamiliar system to most users, and it can be a bit confusing. As a result, we were not able to make our monthly donation goal in the month that we had flattr running. Thus, we have detailed how to donate via flattr in the following wiki article: How to donate via Flattr
