Unfair! Unfair! Unfair! This discriminates against Mac users who can't find warezed copies! (Joke, people.) We have to remember the difference between 'unethical' and 'disappointing.' Both make you feel sad/mad, but that doesn't make them the same. I could whinge about having $129 of my paid price 'stolen' by Steve Cooper, OR... I could look at the incredible amount of satisfaction, community, and name recognition I've gotten in the last 18 months. Steve/CL couldn't take that away from us if he wanted to. And people, remember that the retail price was $300. I feel more bummed by DAZ selling the Mike and Vicky figure/tex/clothing pak CDs at deep discount after I paid a reasonably larger sum of money. But I have to remember that it makes me disappointed, but NO. ACTUAL. SKIN. OFF. MY. ASS. This thread is disturbingly like the 1980s trend of equating offensive with wrong, which got played to full effect by both ends of the political spectrum: conservative in Congress and liberal in academia. In America, this asinine attitude gave us... what? What we got for that was Tipper Gore begging the American government to step in and clean up rock&roll lyrics, and students insisting that several fairly mediocre books written by flash-in-the-pan authors be added to canon. I digress, but not by much. Assassinating Steve/CL's character won't do anything except make him reconsider the work he puts into keeping our favorite software a viable product. Whether this amnesty program is wise or not, I won't say. But I will say that realistically, it hasn't damaged me. Recent purchasers, OTOH, are entitled to gripe. Anton Kisiel was smart enough to pull all of his products he was in the process of improving because he knew someone who yesterday bought the 1.0 release of his Stupendous, Mega-Morphing, Bread-Slicing Hair would be royally cheesed to see the 2.0 release the next day. I would consider this: Voluptuous Vicky's 2.0 upgrade was nada. The commercial word processor on my PDA gave me a major upgrade for free when it came out. Both of these are praiseworthy recognitions of users as investors. OTOH when another PalmOS commercial vendor turned around and put their commercial product in the public domain because they found another cash stream, we felt screwed. That particular company has made some other unwise decisions about how to extract money from customers (imagine a freestuff section that required a registration fee for UPloaders).
