[net.micro] Software Piracy / shareware

kurt@fluke.UUCP (Kurt Guntheroth) (04/10/85)

There was just an article in our local paper (Seattle Times) about
shareware and apparently some authors have grossed in six figures for
shareware.  (A number that sticks in my mind is $240,000 gross
revenue).  These people advertise too, generating a larger user base
from which shared copies spread.  Neat idea, if the program is good
enough.
