Pirate Bay founder and Adblock maker offer web users a way to pay publishers

Two of the digital industry's biggest bugbears unite to launch Flattr Plus, which aims to get 10 million people paying $5 a month

The Pirate Bay founder Peter Sunde is teaming up with the creators of the world's most popular adblocker to give web users a way to make small donations for articles, music and videos they enjoy.

The tie-up between Sunde's startup Flattr and AdBlock Plus maker Eyeo, Flattr Plus is designed to solve a problem the companies claim has been present since the web's invention 27 years ago.
