12/1/1980 The People's choiceI am sympathetic to the plight of software companies—but the record industry has had the same problem for years, and records are still being produced. If a software company can make a professional, high quality, usable product, people will buy it. The small-time software pirate only distributes the software most in demand. And the people who receive the pirated program are exposed to a quality product they probably would not have purchased anyway. I believe a good software company benefits more from this exposure than from advertising, in terms of additional sales. The jerk who copies a program, slaps his name on it, and sells it as his is another matter entirely.

But how about a reader's top thirty poll also? I would like to know how that bestselling software stands up to a user evaluation. Gary Lewis, Las Vegas, NV - V1N4 Comments are closed.
