kjohar,
The person who released the "FREE" script is an idiot.
Someone was trying to sell the eNom script for a very
fair price of $45 (actually, too low in my opinion) and
the moron replied with a free copy in the same thread.
If he had started a separate thread, a few days or weeks later, it
would be completely different. Instead he tries to ruin someone
who has spent his/her time developing and testing a
drop script.
I already told him what I think about his actions, and I
seriously hope that it doesnââ¬â¢t happen again.
Needless to say, "FREE" and "CHEAP" are two things which
destroy the domain business. A good example is the yamoz
script. The creator decided to sell it for close to nothing ($100)
and now he's surprised that there are HUNDREDS of copies of it sold
on eBay for $20+. Pretty much anyone has access to
Yahoo/Dmoz drop lists through these sites and the value, quantity
and quality of those domains has decreased. One stupid move
ruins it for everyone!
If you love making freeware applications, and if you think
you can make a living doing it, get out of the domain game!
