Once, there was a strange village. Its strangeness is that there is a group of enthusiastic people in the village. They are happy to provide the villagers who need the villagers. These things are often all the enthusiastic people. They sneaked from others. Stealing Things, and then provide people needed. So the enthusiastic people are very popular with some villagers. For example, you need a BMW, you can go to the enthusiastic people to listen to inquiry, there is no stolen BMW, so if you spend very little money, you can get a new BMW. I have to buy a BMW through the just channel. BMW producers are accused of the development of the village by many villagers. With enthusiastic people, the modernization of the village quickly caught up with wealthy villages.
There are also some people in the village being a vegetable farmer, they will maintain life through a vegetable banquet. The days of the vegetable farmers are very difficult, because the vegetables are not good, naturally unable to sell money, and once the vegetables are good, the enthusiastic people will take the initiative to steal and then provide to the villagers without compensation. Of course, the vegetable farmers will not do it. He will give our own vegetable field to try to protect his labor results, but the problem is that the technique of enthusiastic people is very high, and the fence of the vegetable farmers is often hit. What is more serious is that it is also the reason for the dishes of enthusiastic people to steal and steal vegetable farmers. It is often from enthusiastic people. So the enthusiastic people often live with the benefactors: if there is no kind of vegetables for vegetables? The villager also believes that since the vegetarian hoes are from the enthusiastic people, why do you want to buy food so much? Can you take it from your enthusiastic person? Why don't you buy a hoe from the market, the hoe is the neighboring village production, very expensive.
This village is such a strange state. The enthusiastic people are welcomed by the villagers, and they have been hated by vegetable farmers, and the elders in the village will not rectify this situation.
The story tells here, I want everyone to understand, this story is the vivid portrayal of the Chinese software industry and sharing the software industry. The enthusiastic person is of course a crackler, and the sharing software author is the vegetable farmer in the story. Of course, the actual situation is far more complicated than stories.
Is there both reasonable?
The reason why the software has pirated cracks, there are many reasons. Some people say that there is reasonable, and there is a crack because the market needs. Take a look at Zhongguancun, look at any computer city, the business of selling the pirated software is hot than any one selling hardware. 5 yuan a CD seems to be a national unified retail price, a woman who sells pirated discs in the streets, sometimes selling hundreds of CDs a day, and dozens of dozens in a day is not good. It is indeed a strong market demand. And the user has to enjoy "affordable", many users say that piracy is not only cheap, but the service is good, the disk is not good to change, the genuine software service is too bad, that is, the price is cheaper than the pirated version. As a developer, I only feel deep sadness, the appeal statement is not my own, and a similar text can be seen in many forums. It is because there is user demand, the level of domestic pirates and cracks is already in the international leading level, the most common claim is: the software that does not crack, the most common explanation example is: Even Microsoft's activation mechanism is Crack.
Is it not only reasonable? This problem is hard to argue. Or is hard to argue in my philosophical level. "Existence is reasonable" seems to be philosopher Sart, or Hegel, the source of test is not me, but I know "existentialism" is now getting more and more questioning, thinking about my dull mind, if The existence is reasonable, then the families of victims attacked by the terrorist attacks don't have to be sad because it is just a reasonable event.
For software industry, no matter whether it is unreasonable, there is a basic fact that labor is not respected. For the thief of the physical theft, everyone knows that he should put him in prison, because there is a basic understanding of the human society: workers should be respected, so no matter what society, including the original society, theft is prohibited. For the current software industry, because the simplicity of software work replication has led to this basic understanding of the challenge: Does the labor developers do not respect? Many people will think this is a nonsense: of course to respect! But what is the truth? Is there a respect for developers? If you can get a sure answer, I am very willing to respect the BMW producer. If you don't need to respect, then my psychological will be more balanced: it is a industry that I don't want to do, I can't resent others. Anyway, as a shared software author, you must survive in such a village, and the fact that it can be well survived.
Why isn't it free?
Interpretation
Shareware:
Sharing software is a copyrighted software that is sold in a way that is paid first after use. Depending on the authorization of the author of the shared software, users can get their copy from various channels, or freely spread it. Users can always use or trial sharing software, and they will pay the author after satisfaction. Sharing software is a business software.
Many users mix shared software and free software to talk, he is strange: Is it not free? Why still spend money? In fact, the word sharing software comes from English Shareware, directly translated into shared software, in fact, is not free to share. Simply put, shared software is charged, but you can try again. Free software is not charged.
Some authors have made shared software to free software because they have to reward, and simply change the sharing software to free software. It seems that the vegetable far vegetables can not make money, and simply remove the fence, let everyone pick vegetables in the vegetable field. Just starting everyone, I am very happy, I like everyone likes, but after a while, I feel like it is not too strong. How is this dish? The old taste, eat too tired, other dishes transgeneous, this free The dishes appeared to the worse. - Because the vegetable farmers did no longer spend Kung Fu to wait for the vegetable land.
For developers, it is not a good choice for free, free of sustainable road. Only the situation in which the income is not returned is impossible. When a new supermarket is opened, there is often a free gift gift, or there is a special offer to attract customers, but the supermarket should continue to open, it is impossible to do business. With a profit, the supermarket will get better and better. The more you lose, the more you have a boss, I haven't heard of it. If there is, the trouble reader introduces me, kill, I have to do business with such a boss.
So for the developer, if it is just a software, it is expected to be aware of it, then it can be released as a free software, there is time to be interested. You will give it another level. I have such a software, in fact, I am very popular. I have often used users to send back to this software. There is a bug that I have received at least 30 reports. I have time to return in addition to the time. Thank you, I haven't upgraded it, because I don't have time, I would rather watch TV. It is free software, no one forced me to upgrade the revised bug, I still don't want to develop it for this software, so it stays at version 1.0, and my other sharing software has been upgraded to version 6.0.
