I'm not sure about that. Developers tend to be more sensible about paying for software. Regular people will just download it without reading the "yada yada" stuff about paying.
Case in point: WinRAR, anyone?
EDIT: Just to clarify, I like the pricing model too. I just don't think it works for software in general.
- xiaomai 14y agoAn article on the demise of winamp suggested that the winamp people were receiving over $100,000 a month in checks sent by mail. I would suppose if you had an easier way to pay then checks by mail, even more "regular" people would be willing to pay. I point out winamp because it is similar in that no new features are unlocked after paying.
- eli 14y agoFair enough, though few of us will ever write software as popular as WinAMP once was.
