When talking with a student about explaining open
source software, it occurred to me that reporting bugs
in a software program could signal to the producer
that one is a high volume user of the software. After
all, the more you use it the more likely you are to
find bugs. And if the producer price discriminates,
they should then charge you more for the next update,
or at least not offer you a discount. Anyone know if
software companies price discriminate against people
who send in complaints about bugs?
