Apples to apples ... my comparison works. Media software compared to billion dollar websites are apples to oranges. Also, I never said that he shouldn't make some portion of it free.
It's a fair point you make but I still think that my own point stands. Making people pay for it drastically reduces the amount of consumers you can potentially have. Once you have them hooked on the product, THEN you can introduce the option to donate and pay. I think that's a far more sound strategy.

But that's not the point. It's about what stands the chance to make the most money in the long run. If ofcourse that is what Dar is interested in. He may give it away for free to start with but that doesn't necessarily mean he is losing out on customers, in fact quite the opposite.
