-
- WHY PAY FOR THIS COMPUTER PROGRAM?
-
- If "The Fund-Raiser's Assistant" doesn't work for you, you
- shouldn't pay for it, so don't.
-
- If it really does help you, there are 3 reasons you should pay
- for it:
- 1.It's the right thing to do,
- 2.You have a legal obligation, and
- 3.It's in your financial self interest to do so.
-
- You've heard a lot about the ethics and morality of software
- piracy, and now there's a move on to remind you of the law. But
- let's focus on your financial self interest.
-
- If this program is really helping you, so will future versions.
- You will lose a lot more than the price of this program if you
- never hear about updates. Do you remember the first word
- processor you ever saw? Aren't you glad it's been upgraded?
-
- By registering for "The Fund-Raiser's Assistant", you're hiring
- us to develop software and distribute it to you at substantial
- savings. If you've gotten your money's worth so far, how much
- will future upgrades be worth to you? Unless you register,
- you'll probably never learn about them. And you'll lose money.
-
- Think about your real self interest. How much is access to
- technical support, the upgrades and other related programs
- likely to be worth? If you honestly don't feel your future
- benefits will be worth more than the registration fee, don't
- register. We haven't earned your money.
-
- But if you feel you will continue to benefit from our work for
- you, you owe it to yourself and us to register.
-
-
- ABOUT TRY-BEFORE-YOU-BUY SOFTWARE
-
- Try-before-you-buy software distribution is called Shareware,
- because you're encouraged to make copies and share the software
- with others. If you try a Shareware program and continue using
- it, you are expected to register and pay for it. Individual
- programs differ on details -- some request registration while
- others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
- registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
- using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
- (With "The Fund-Raiser's Assistant" you will get them all --
- technical support, an updated program, a printed manual plus
- free updates for nine months).
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
-
- Fund-Raiser's Assistant ECON 101 Page 1
-
-
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
- of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
- and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
- and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
- Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
-
- YOUR RIGHTS
-
- You may freely distribute or transfer (either electronically or
- otherwise) this software in the shareware spirit.
-
- You have an unlimited free trial period during which you may
- evaluate the program. If you decide you like it, you should pay
- for it. If you don't like it, stop using it.
-
- Please respect our rights as software developers and register
- with us if you like the program. We want to continue to make
- quality software available at a low price, but need your
- cooperation.
