Flattr's Peter Sunde wants to put an end to online media’s dependence on advertising

Online publishers are in a constant tussle with the ever-changing face of the web, particularly when it comes to monetising content and reliance on advertising.

Peter Sunde, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, is now one of the co-founders of Sweden-based Flattr, a service that allows web users to donate money to content creators online.

The next step in Sunde’s plan to help publishers and creatives monetise online content and be free of advertising is Flattr Plus, a partnership between Flattr and one of online media’s biggest foes, AdBlock Plus.
