I am a Pirate. I live in L.A. where everything is fake or copied.
I LOVE going downtown and purchasing the latest movies on DVD. They're only 4 for $20 and if it's slow you can get away for 4 for $15. When a DVD comes out, they rip the DVD and those are always just a fiver each. I had Pirates of the Carabian on DVD just a month after it came out, that was what two years ago? Now the DVD just being released lol.
I haven't purchased/paid for a CD in 5 years.
What if a useful app is just ten bucks? I'd buy it. It's worth ten bucks not to search, download, then run the crack, etc. But when a program is $25 and up, I'd go thru the trouble. When a program "asks" for a donation, I usually send them a ten spot.
Want more people to buy your hard work? Lower your prices. Instead of making a program $35 bucks, try making it ten bucks and watch how many more people buy it then hack it.
