I have never seen the justification of doing something just because someone else did it. It then becomes a pass the buck blame game: “I only did it because they did it first” sort of thing. Just because some company is putting their hands in your pocket doesn’t justify them all doing it. As expected, as the computer and software business evolves, it becomes more and more commercialized…so much for the open source market. And as it becomes more and more commercialized, the more the government wants to get involved not wanting to miss out on getting their palms greased by passing laws to place restrictions and tax Internet use.

It reminds me of how your operating system software upgrades were free in the beginning while they were passing out free computers to schools and businesses until everyone became addicted to them, something I find tantamount to passing out cocaine at a college party.

This news is unfortunate for those of us who can barely afford the initial cost of the software and are now expected to continue paying the high prices for the upgrades as if we were individual, financially viable imaging corporations...just my opinion.
