csdb could put a few dvd's together and charge that money could help the running of the site etc
i dont mind people selling if the money is going to good puposes (and if they want to make a few deposits into my bank account then im even more happy :) )

hein, yeah while the MUCH more work of the original authors worths 0 euros...
one DVD is MAX 2 euro, and postal cost 1 euro max,
they earn atleast 7 on each.
whish I could live on someone else's work for free. |

Oswald, would you really want that? That would mean you have to turn into an evil businesssuit, and you'd loose every dignity. And then you furiously hit a laughing tree with your Ferrari, ending up in a wheelchair, family waiting for you to die, so they can inherit the millions..
I'd stick to being a creative soul, let others ruin their Karma.. |

Some weeks ago one german guy wrote to me an email with the question if he can put my games onto his CD which he wants to sell for money. I told him that I don;t agree, because I did the games and released for free, shy someone wants to get the money for my free work ? All actions like this one should be banned. |

I see it like this... someone spends time creating a collection of carefully selected demos asking authors for permissions to publish the demos on a DVD which will be sold for "estimated cost". Then spends some time DVD doing some work around interface and stuff and finally after years starts to sell it. That would be quite right IMO. Question is if authors of the demos were contacted etc.. if not, then something is wrong there. Anyway gotta put that collection to "related" it's not a C64 release anyway.
P.S.: Special message for people who "know" c64.sk rules better than me. (the news will be put to related because I didn't receive those 100 eurobucks + 5 copies of DVD ;-)))))

I'm still waiting for that e-mail..
On the other hand, I never asked permission to Hajime or Boris, but we (Bml) did win a few guilders to buy ourselves some steaks. Don't know about the other democreators mentioned on the DVD. For all I know, they're surfing the waves in Hawaii. Aloha to them... |
