Dear Brad,
You obviously don't know us, otherwise you wouldn't suspect us to let peerflix users with fakes. Not only we sent 10 days later (to leave some room for peerflix follow-up) an explanation letter with the official DVD, but we added an extra free DVD to compensate. The weird part is we never received any complaint from any of these 5 users within these 10 days, directly or through Peerflix.
But let me tell you how even this idea came to my mind ... : i've been first a victim of such a fraud (within peerflix) myself 3 months ago and decided to claim, with no response from peerflix. That's what decided us to test a bit further this weakness of peerflix and see if it was an isolated case. Unfortunately not.
And we don't consider ourselves as a competitor of Peerflix, since we're not profit oriented and act on an open-source basis. Our goal is to build a reliable trading platform to benefit the most possible number of users, completely for free, wasn't that the true initial spirit of internet ?
Now, to answer about the fraud-risk, believe me, no insurance company would ever cover such a risk at a decent price. We're left with the same question : how reliable, loyal and honnest will be the traders ? It seems to become an under-estimated issue for Peerflix and we're still brainstorming and collecting ideas everywhere to find the most efficient solution.
Many thanks again, Brad, for letting us using this tribune, it's gonna help us build a better trading platform and satisfy user more accurately.
