I hear ya. Someone once told me (I don't sell software/music/whatever so have no idea if this is true) - for every 5 people, 2 will always pay, 1 will always pirate, and the 2 will buy if given good reason (be that price poin

From an SEO standpoint I don't think it would be too hard to rank for that :-) I guess the whole point was not to give it for free, but to make someone realise that they could get it for free with X hours work and learning. But most pe

Interesting and no worries either way! I posted the Go Fund Me link as they didn't (/don't?) seem to be linking to it from the blog post.
