I actually paid for winrar in 2006. The meme does happen.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoWhy NOT pay for software you use? Especially if it's a useful tool and developed by a small team(one guy?) instead of an evil multi-trillion tax-dodging conglomerate. I also paid for the BOSCH drill I use, my 4K monitor, ergonomic chair and other such work tools, so why not pay for SW tools as well?
- cesarb 3y ago> I also paid for the BOSCH drill I use, my 4K monitor, ergonomic chair and other such work tools, so why not pay for SW tools as well? None of these are a useful comparison, since they're physical objects which cannot be infinitely copied, so the reasons to pay for them do not necessary apply to software. > Why NOT pay for software you use? Each person probably has a different answer, and the same person might have different answers in different situations. In my case, nearly all of the software I use is free software, which is offered free of charge (and any payment I make is actually a donation to the developer, not paying for the software).
- trollied 3y ago> Why NOT pay for software you use? [Not] paying for winrar was a meme. Hence my post. I buy everything I use.
- mikece 3y agoI paid for both WinRAR and Sublime Text. Not sure if that makes me elite or silly.
- theogravity 3y agoThere's a facebook group for people to announce they paid for WinRAR because of the no one pays for it meme. Can't remember what it was called. I paid for winrar I think 15 years ago when I started working full time and it was the first shareware app I paid for. I don't use it as much as I used to nowadays. Surprised it's still being updated. I thought the creator of WinRAR passed away.
