Mom only injects once a day (as far as I know). On a lighter note...(as the heading of this thread indicates), I'm not really up for such morbid conversations, so... what did you think of the Harry Potter books?

I bought dvd player because old cd player could not play "copy controlled" cds.

the Netherlands is notorious for illegal copying so we get "copy controlled" cds here. since while I buy my cds online they get their cd from UK or USA or Canada without "copy controlled" and 30% cheaper (no sales taxes) and no delivery costs.

In SA, we don't bother with copy-controlled, 'cos the copiers will just find a way to crack them faster than we can develop them.

this "copy controlled" cd is actualy a "new kind" of cd.

I think it to sell more cd/dvd player. it is conspiracy, which not realy working, because a lot of other country sell without and nowaday with internet every one can buy one without "copy controlled"

See. We have the same problem with computer programs, like the 1 I'm using on my pc at home. Because the program is the proffessional version, it costs a FORTUNE, so I just copied it from a friend who had it, and found a crack for it on the net.

I think should not sell software ant more the selling business model does not work any more. I think should think of "lease" it or let people pay yearly fee for on line help. the fee is depend on the amount of help people want. the faster you want help the more you pay.
for example
- cheapest question by e-mail. answer in 72 hrs by e-mail.
- bit more: question by answering phone. answer in 24 hrs by phone.
- full services. direct help by phone or personal visit.

also building a FAQ database with keywords used mostly in questions!

Good idea, but then how is the cost of the creation of a program going to be covered

people do not need help all the time. about 40% of people need some help in a year. so you have 60% to invest in delevopement.

you have know that now about 40% are illegal copies. some user of illegal copies might like to pay for e-mail help if it is not too high.

lets say you pay some software US Dollar 300, but with my fee system for e-mail help you pay US dolar 50. now every 100 user is 40 not paying. that means US dollar 12000 the software makers is missing out on, but what if from that 40 people 50% of the people using illegal software would not mind to pay US Dolar 50 that is US Dollar 1000 more income per 20 users. it also means you have more registered users.
