From experience, i know, that pay downloads are common practice in the rendering commuities. But i would be hard pressed to name any other area.
All script.developers please imagine to be ordinary members, when answering.

Sorry, I thought my answer was to the question: Poll: Would you pay for downloads?@William
I think you completely missed the point.

I'm very surprised, how many are absolutely against the idea.
I expected the most negative opinion to be "I think it's ok, but i would never pay for a download", cause ctmags project is already a project, which can not be downloaded for free. One has to buy it!

@all, who are against pay downloads
I'm very surprised, how many are absolutely against the idea.
I expected the most negative opinion to be "I think it's ok, but i would never pay for a download", cause ctmags project is a project, which can not be downloaded for free. One has to buy it!
And i can't remember, anyone, but me, having the slightest problem with that.
Strange point of view, imo. To be aginst it, if it benefits the community, but not, when it does not benefit the community.
The answer (at least mine) would have been yes.Is it fair that anyone should be payed, in money, for his/her work? (provided that they are not doing whatever they do "pro bono")
and (from your last post):Is boot-land reboot.pro the right placefor this people to offer the non-free (as in free beer) products?
Do you think that by substituting patriots with mercenaries we will have more people in the Army?

I don't know, if you have ever been to a golf club, i was only twice.I am happy about your daughter and her successes
, but would it be appropriate that she would go (say) at your local youth (or bridge or golf) club nagging members to buy one of her drawings/renderings?

Sorry, but you are misunderstanding me.I don't know, if you have ever been to a golf club, i was only twice.
But they had there a bar, a restaurant and a shop. Non of them was free! Heck not even the use of the course was free.
I would go as far, as to say, that it is common place, that one has to pay for things to use or own.
Very good.This may sound overly pessimistic, but let me tell you a story.
When i was still a little BigNice, neighbors, friends and acquaintances would constantly ask me for help, but when i ask for help, everyone had something way more important to do, like watching paint dry.
This didn't change, by me asking more nicely or going more out of my way to help them.
Only when i started to demand, that they return the favors or take a hike, the balance was restored.

You have my full 'thank you' for your reaction!re. your German magazine. I was asked very recently if they could put RMPrepUSB into their cover DVD (FYI - an article will be in the new German Praxis mag which comes out in Sept. 2nd on RMPrepUSB - shame I can't get a copy in the UK
). I refused permission and asked them to point people to my website where they can download it or the Beta and see some of the tutorials (which I hope I have attributed to reboot members where applicable
) and also point them to reboot if they want to look at a forum or ask for help. My thoughts were that they are commercial magazine which are selling (in effect) other peoples free products (mine and other reboot members work) for their own gain. If they are using someone's work without permission or attribution then you should complain!

Probably because about everyone uses an adblocker these days.I think this is a much better way to go. Why was this abandoned?

The right place to sell golf accessories is a golf club, the right place to sell rendering accessories is a rendering forum and the right place to sell WinBuilder scripts and projects is reboot.pro.There are other places , called shops or markets, where you sell your work
Sure, everyone, who is not 100% Nice 100% of the time, is a bastard!You learned at an early age how lots of people are bastards and decided to become one of them in order to not be overpowered by them.
Yep, that's life! Can't see M$ closing shop and stop developing OS, because it will anyway become Warez.And BTW, should any project/.script/program become payware, the day after it would be all over the WAREZ scene
Sure, but back then, the main focus of the board was development and not support, like today.Only this is not the "spirit" of the board (as it was when founded).
Posted 29 August 2011 - 07:19 PM
Mind you I never said that, it's actually the fact that nothing (or very little) came back to the board (as a bettered project/set of .scripts) that I am particularly talking about.If they are using someone's work without permission or attribution then you should complain!
Posted 29 August 2011 - 09:08 PM
Well I still get quite a few ad clicks per month from those that don't!Probably because about everyone uses an adblocker these days.

- Absolutely against the concept!
- I think it's ok, but i would never pay for a download.
- I think this could be a way to attract more script developers.
- I think this could be a way to raise the quality of the scripts.
- I think this could be a way to seriously increase the number of scripts.
- Sure the developers deserve some small compensation for their time.
