it is *not* crap. ever heard of geographical price differentiation and
target group price discrimination? why resist sales volume for a lower
margin?

well maybe i wont ;-D i think you forget about the sharing spirit of this
community. if i can help you, i will.
but there is one but; if a developer supports a product, IMHO, everyone
should pay instead of moaning, since support is time consuming. to develop
something for the sheer pleasure of designing can be fun, releasing a piece
of software can be fun, but supporting bugs is not fun and should be
rewarded. if anyone pirates still supported software, it is somwhat of a
crime, yes.
