Software firm fishes for global attention by pimping art money Odense Denmark, March 13th, 2006 - Zabersoft, Inc. announces its partnership with the Bank of International Art Money (BIAM). Zabersoft will now accept payment in Art Money for software licenses for its flagship product, PimpFish. Zabersoft will be the first software/technology company to ever accept art objects as valid payment for its products.
The founders of Zabersoft, Inc. were introduced to the concept of Art Money by pure coincidence. They loved the concept, one thing lead to another, and now they accept art objects as payment for their products.
"We have tried to make it as simple for people to pay with Art Money as we possibly could, by creating a fusion between our existing licensing framework and the online Art Money marketplace. In fact, with the current model people can buy Art Money, support an artist and save a few dollars on the license cost without much more hassle than buying a license ''the traditional way''. It all happens online." said Arni Johannesson, Zabersoft CEO and co-founder.
The Bank of International Art Money (BIAM) is an independent, artist run organization. Art Money is an original art object by which BIAM aims to create a global alternative currency. BIAM main objectives are to offer artists worldwide the chance of financial freedom and worldwide exposure in order to focus on the creative process. BIAM aims to integrate an alternative global currency with local currencies worldwide as a step towards equal shopping conditions for rich and poor regardless of the conditions of the local social environment. This currency may as such function as a human link across cultural, racial, linguistic, political and religious barriers.
"It is initiatives like the one from Zabersoft that helps turn a utopian art concept into reality. Zabersoft has chosen to accept payment for their product as 100% art money. This places art money on line with regular cash. More importantly it invites low income people to shop! I am very excited to see professional businesses and art find healthy win-win collaboration in art money, and I dare hope for a wild and wonderful future for generations to come!" said Lars Krĉmmer, BIAM CEO.
The product initially offered to customers by Zabersoft, PimpFish, is a new download manager application. Designed to work on Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003, PimpFish is a Download Manager, Internet Explorer or Firefox toolbar and an assortment of plug-ins designed to make it easier to download and share content you find online.
