[comp.sys.ibm.pc] I'm beginning to get tired of share

Think of "shareware" as a software distribution system, not a licensing
system.  You're invited to keep, distribute, or evaluate copies of the
program, but not to use it without paying.  I really don't see why
that should bother anybody.  I consider the effort to download,
transfer, and de-arc the program to be part of the cost.  Commercial
software through normal channels isn't cheap.
