HELLOOO!!!!!
Do you work for free?
Would you put in countless hours of hard work and time for no compensation?
The software developers have to pay their bills and feed their family, too!! And, the only way they can KEEP developing new software is to make an income on previously developed software.
This is as true for the big names as it is for the individual developers.
Bottom line is ... how would you feel if people figured they were entitled to come in and steal the products of your hard work?
And yes, I pay for software!

There is a whole menagerie of free software out there - from operating systems (GNU LINUX) to office packages (http://www.open-office.org) to accounts systems and games, firewalls, anti virus/spyware, etc. Try looking on http://sourceforge.net, this is open source where many programmers put their software for free. This is not shareware (where you are expected to pay some subscription eventually) or freeware but is public domain.
You must remember though, that most free software will not be up to the standard of fully priced and purchased software. The guys that write and develop the software work very hard to do so and have to make a living somehow. Don't always go for free or free will eventually dry up.

Yes I pay. Would you like to do your job for free? Would you give away your ideas and work for free..I think not. Sure you can find pirated programs all over the internet, but someone goes to work to produce those programs every day, And they get a paycheck. If you came up with an idea so cool that everyone would want it, wouldnt you like to get some $ for it? Would it be fair if I were to come into your house and take all your stuff cause I didnt want to pay for it? If you use the software pay for it.

I've been subscribing to PennyStock Egghead for about a year now and have loved the objective advice Nathan gives. http://penny-stock.keysolve.net
He really does look for quality stocks and I've made some pretty nice profits on a lot of his suggestions.
Being still fairly new to investing I have been dabbling a lot in penny stocks to try and grow my account.
I may not have a big account, but it's a lot bigger than it was a year ago.
On just one of Nathan's picks this year I managed to make my investment back ten-fold!

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/4ed13

I agree, it's just a way for them to make money. The software/product is going to be outdated in like a year anyways or you have to pay to renew a subscription. They're going to make newer versions that are better and they know that.
Good thing there's freeware. :)

your quite right there are a lot of free software programs out there but beta programs dont offer full protection and back up support if your careful you may never need help but program writers never give you all the best bits in beta programs sometimes you need to buy the full package to open up a program to its full potential.

If they only program themselves out of nowhere, maybe not.
But a lot of these software are programmed by real people. These people need sources of income to survive just like the rest of us.
