e/Parasitic technology

Information
has gloss	eng: Parasitic technology is any technology that permits consumers to get something for nothing, or "break the linkage between usage and payment". Stan Liebowitz, who introduced the term, cites TiVo as a parasitic technology for allowing consumers to "skip" commercials, thus avoiding "paying" for the shows they are watching and so adds no value to the entertainment industry. Another example is filesharing, which he calls "the reigning king of parasitic technologies."
