>I believe in the concept of shareware and all that, but for some strange >reason, it struck me kinda raw about charging for a track converter. On >the other hand, I wonder how much Gerhard would have made had he >charged? So judging by the title you put on this thread, I take it you approve of theft and robbery? If I go into the 7-eleven forum will I find questions from you asking about the best way to rip off a convenience store? Joe

I think it is pretty sad that you even think of such a thing. He is not distributing the tracks, but the tool to convert them. There is nothing wrong with charging for a track converter. Just because many people don't charge for utilties that they create, and you may feel that the standard now is that all utilities should be free, he has every right to charge for the converter. If you feel it is not worth the money he is asking for, then you don't have to buy the converter. Remember when David Gary was asking for all that money for the cars he created? Was there anything wrong with that? No. Does it mean he is greedy? No. Was the price a bit excessive? Probably. Was anyone forced to buy the cars if they didn't want to? No.
