Hi Scott.
Excellent article!
I feel the same if some one would steel a song or complain that it
should be FREE.
If they only knew how many hours it took of composition or writing
code on our macs of course LOL!
If people would only realize that steeling software and or songs
that some one put many hours in developing that it is illegal!

Mary,
Thanks for sharing the article. I agree with a lot that Brit wrote.
However, I do think that APple has affected some of this in the
sense that advertising is a little different and it seemed a lot of
her comments likely targeted more the desktop world. However, again,
Brit's comments to have a lot of truth and folks should consider
what she offers.

Hi all,
While reading on tuaw recently, I came across a link to a very good
article, written by a developer, listing the reasons why software
is not free. Since there is from time to time a lot of discussion
regarding the price of software, usually involving people decrying
the fact that a given app is not free or nearly so and somehow
feeling that they are being gouged by developers, I thought I'd
offer this link for folks to check out and think about. Remember,
this author is not a blindness software developer. Everything she
says in her article is common sense. But since it is coming from a
small mainstream developer, not one developing for our small
market, maybe it will go down easier with those of you who post
here and elsewhere the view that small developers working for a
small market segment are somehow out to screw us over.
