Now I Have To Pay?

Now I Have To Pay?

I have been collecting Wallpapers for years and now I have to pay or buy something? What's up with that? Not everybody has money these days, due to hour cuts and such. In my spare time, I like to collect awsome looking wallpapers and this is the best site to do just that. I'm sorry, but I just can't afford to purchase anything. I understand that bandwidth costs money but it would be nice to have a certain limit per day that you can download. Thanks.

If you buy OD you cross-reference that account here. In other words, if you buy OD, you're automatically a subscribed member.

Tha's not quite right either.......... if you buy OD, you are a subscriber of OD. The WC subscription is a different thing.

I didn't know that. Next time I'll RTFM (Subscription Info) before posting.

What's a Warewolf? Is that a werewolf that does warez?

SO MUCH FOR TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE! <-- look all caps.

I was just trying to say that everyone is a freeloader. I can't explain that some just can't pay, not that they don't want to, but some people don't want to hear it, so whatever. My mommy taught me to share as a child, apparently yours did not.

I bought a subscription last night. I now support this site. It took some rearranging of bills (long term). Just because money is green, it doesn't mean it grows on trees. It still seems alot just to download Walls. I don't have any Stardock products to utilize the rest of the site.

Man, you didn't have to jump on me for a bloody spelling error, I aplogize, Werewolf*

I do realize that not everyone is a freeloader, and some just can't pay. However why should you be more entitled to a free ride than the owners of Wincustomize? If they share, why can't you share?
Besides, it's not like you're going to die without downloading stuff from one site.

This is getting bordering on flaming now though, so I'm just gonna shutup.

I sure hope you meant to put the word "not" between "that" and "everyone"! As for the rest of the quote, it's really all about choices. If the choices are as clear-cut as eating or downloading, then that's an easy one. If it's a choice between smoking, drinking, HBO-ing or downloading, then it's tougher. But in those cases, it's not that someone "can't" pay; it's that they choose not to pay. IOW, they "won't" pay.

And sharing? For those who are struggling to eat, 50MB is a generous helping at the virtual download food kitchen. For those who choose to spend their money on other things, 50MB is just generous, period. WC and Stardock and those who post their work here don't need a lecture on sharing from anyone.

I forgot to mention that I'm sure that the b/w bills are high. I have a web site and it wasn't cheap, I understand. I was just trying to explain that not everyone is a "freeloader."


Fair enough. Sorry, I think I misunderstood your original post.

First yes, my faux pas. I forgot to put the word "not" in there. I was all huffy and typing in caps.

Second, I was defending another, now you are accusing me of asking for a freeride? Please read the entire thread before jumping to conclusions.

Third, I agree that 50 mb is a fair amount, as long as you know that before you start downloading, so that you can be more selective.

Fourth, don't call me man. Not everyone here is male.

Fifth, Todd bought a subscription. This is all null and void. Welcome Todd! Maybe I can hook you up with some "free stuff."

I aplogize for sterotyping, but usually males are the ones that are fond of the grousome monsters...but I could be wrong...

I also apologize for wording things a bit sketchily, I wasn't really accusing YOU of a free-ride, it wasn't really directed at anybody.

As for your "This is all null and void"....Why say that after taking out the time to write a post?

That's basically saying "This is exactly why you should believe me, why I am right in this subject. Oh, yes, and this subject is entirely pointless to debate." Contradicting yourself == bad.

Thanks for the Welcome LA Werewolf. Also, thank you for your defense. Some people will just never understand what hard times are. "Freeride" is not in my vocabulary. I also agree that the 50MB download is more then fair but was unaware of the restriction. Good come back on your Fourth and thanks again for your fifth.

I have nothing to do with the running and maintaining of this site, but that's an offensive statement to me. Good manners and common sense would seem to dictate that anytime you are having a go on somebody else's dime that you try to be *very* selective.

CursorXP enhanced for $10 also gives one unlimited downloads. Cool little app.

Actually, I am not contradicting myself. Apparently, it's null and void for Todd because he "caved in" - (not meant to be derogatory) and bought something. So he's good to go and we don't have to worry about him anymore. I am not claiming to be right or have won anything, you are inferring the wrong things from my statement.

As far as StardockJeff is: WOW, grasping at straws are we? When I said be selective, I meant, just don't download everything on one page, go to next page - repeat. You must be a very easily offended person, for that was a simple statement.

Todd, I don't like the way you or I have been treated here. I find it insulting on the whole. We need to contact each other somehow. I will gladly give you a copy of my PURCHASED software, which I know is perfectly legal, as long as I don't make profit from it. It will be on MY dime, so others can chill out.

had a big long statement, but didn't feel like it was worth the effort defending it.

No that is very much Illegal. You paid for your copy, and that is all.

Hopefully, this entire thread is null and void now. Welcome aboard toddboy2001.

LA Werewolf: huh?  You have been mistreated? Because you had an argument with one user?  BTW, despite his name, stardockjeff has nothing to do with the Stardock company. He's just another user like you.

stardockjeff: I must strongly ask you to please change youur nickname as it can obviously be misleading for people.

stardockjeff....I agree with paxx....it's time to change your nick to something 'less confusing'.....that WILL be appreciated....

LA Werewolf....generally you will find that all software comes with a version of EULA [End User License Agreement] which prohibits, amongst other things, the unauthorized redistribution of the software.  You will be in violation of explicit and inherent copyright.  Some software 'may' be allowed to be resold or given away on the proviso that it is a single-use license which means it can ONLY be used by one person and not end up on two individuals' computers at the same time...

Thanks for the Welcome ChasUGC.

LA Werewolf - You can now contact me as I have posted my email for the time being. I have to agree with Koasati and I do not wish to get you in trouble. Thank you for your offer. Maybe in the future, I will purchase further products that I can take more advantage of WC.

stardockjeff1 - I would have been more "selective" of what I was downloading if I had known about the restriction. LA Werewolf was correct when she made that statement.
