But the contents of the book are already in your head. The cookies can't be repackaged, and the material can't be unheard either. The people who designed those books worked hard to make sure they produced a good product, and they made sure demos were available so that people could make an informed choice. Expecting the whole book for nothing is just asking for a hand-out.

A download, however, is a totally different animal. It can be deleted.

Ahh yes, because this honors system works so well. Do you also tear open packages of cookies in the store to sample them before you buy them? After all you might not like them, so you shouldn't buy them and take that risk. Perhaps Amazon could just send me a book and let me read it. Then if I like it, I can pay for it when I'm done. In fact, Tom, why don't you just release all of your programs as freeware, and then those of us who like your games can pay you for them. Hey. I'm only following your philosophy. No fun? Well that's why we have demos and samples. That's why we have the radio and TV you mentioned. In fact, if you go to the page for the first book in the series, you can click a link entitled "preview" and get a sample just like other paying customers. Anything else is stealing. http://www.graphicaudio.net/p-33-1-destiny.aspx Ryan -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Friday, November 06, 2009 12:51 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Piracy was: Requesting Rogue Angel Series Hi Liam, First, I'll repete myself. I sent it to this list completely on accident. What part of it was an accident do you not understand? Second, if you must know I wished to listen to the programs before buying them. In that sense I was not intending to pirate them as you claim. I think I do reserve the right to listen to something in full before paying $12.00 per show, and find out later I did or didn't like it. Tell me how many books did you buy before reading them first? How many movies did you buy before you watched them? How many songs did you buy before hearing them on the radio first? In other words what I am getting at is people hear a song on the radio, like it, and they go out and buy it on cd. Someone sees a really good movie on tv, and decides to go out and purchase the dvd. So if I intend to do the same thing what crime have i committed other than not paying for it before I had a chance to listen to it to find out if I like it or not?
