- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- You certainly have no sense for logic, that's clear. A software pirate
- makes a copy of a disk, not table and chairs. All of the hard work, the
- work that took education, time and effort was NOT done by the pirate but the
- software's author. Have you ever notice people don't pirate tables and
- chairs? No. Figures. They don't because it saves them no time and work.
-
- 1. Building a chair takes as much energy as... building a chair. No gain.
-
- 2. Copying a disk takes much less energy than writing the program.
-
- >and chairs for himself. the pirate never takes your table and chairs.
- >and why might he do that? well perhaps its because you charged
- >him 1 million dollars for a chair and it only cost you 2 hours to
- >make it. oh.. and by the way.. im a programmer so dont tell me its
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- That's a line of bull if I ever saw one.
-
- Hey, it is up to him to charge what he wants. If you don't want it, DON'T
- TAKE IT. Leave it alone and write your own if it is so easy.
-
- >blood, sweat and tears. thats BS.
-
- Perhaps YOUR software is worthless crap no one want's to buy, but there IS
- software that IS worth buying.
