PD COMPANIES,ARE YOU ON THEIR LIST ?
]--------------------------------------
by Orlando+DefKLF
PD companies is appering everywhere,
even respected computer-mags have begun
to form libraries over PD stuff,so that
the ordinary user has a chance to get
his hands on good programs,for only the
cost of delivering.
In these libraries there is a lot of
demos too,and that is just great,becozz
the more your "product" is being spread
the better.But nowadays people are get-
ting greedier and if they have a chance
to make a few money... and the computer
scene is no exeption. I know there is a
lot of PD companies selling demos,slide
shows,or muzak disks & say all products
are made to be copied freely by the
user and you not have to pay 7 dollars
for them. But that is just what is
happening , people making a living on
something we have made, and most of the
time we don't even know our products
are being sold.But are we going to let
rotten PD companies make a lot of money
on our hard work ?
NO ! and a lot of groups have started
to write a little note in the begining
of their products saying: " THIS IS NOT
TO BE SOLD,WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION" ,but
is it enough ?
I don't think so...
Here is an exemple of those PD sellers:
Pressimage ( they own in France :
St magazine , Generation 4 & DP mag )
They sell demos 50 FF (=5 pounds ) !
+ 15 FF (=1.5 pounds ) for shipping and
handling !
It can be found in their list:
Oh crickey wot a scorcher - Decade
Life's a bitch - Syntax terror ....
And those mother fuckers sell demos
on ATARI ST,but also on AMIGA & PC !!
[ What do you think of them,what can we
[do agaisnt them ? Write us !
