1. It important to understand the distinction between making a profit and operating. LeeWare Development does not make a profit from its current business. I doubt that most filesharing programs do. However, that doesn't mean that I can't cover my operational cost which I think most P2P development companies do because their biggest investment is in talent / time not capital.

If you want to charge for the plus version it should be ok as long as you still keep that free version available. Maybe I didn't make that clear enough.
2. Ok, maybe not every company is supported by ads, but they all make money somehow , right? They wouldn't be running if they were losing money! And I did say 'most' and not 'all'. So the idea would still be valid.
3. You got me there; I didn't state that right. Thank you for correcting me. 
(I noticed that you didn't say anything about my idea , just my so-called facts. I don't know what to think about that.) |
