n00b response
I'm new to this site, awaiting delivery of a 6800, so Im trying to learn all I can. I'm a geezer n00b, going back to Comm64 days. As someone has noted, this issue has been around since the beginning of software. I don't do warez and so far haven't d/l any music legal or otherwise! But as a thinking, and hopefully intelligent person, I did stop by and read the thread, and it made me stop and think, as it did the person who totaled up the value of his software. I think part of the issue is that some of the software/tweaks grew up originally in a basement or garage or among friends or a users group and was just FUN. A challenge or a minor want, or fix. A hobbiest approach. That's why many of us are here and on other similar sites. But I definitely appreciate what the original poster has said, the way he said it, and that he took the time to politely say it. There is some major software in the world that makes our lives easier/better (I hope) and the people would created it should be rewarded for their labor.
My thanks and a tip o'the hat to the developers here. Health and prosperity to you.
