why is it that in most software would say free games for download and later on buy now?

Cool games are very hard/expensive to develop, it incorporate a lot of technologies in sound and visual effect, sometime it have clips on it just like a movie, to make it worth playing, so if they don't ask for money ever, they can't even survive to provide you the next game to try.

My son was trying to find that game for free as well.Not going to happen.You can get it on a peer to peer but the probability of virus is very high.Plus you need a key to activate, and that's usually another download and probability of viruses is there again.\nTry EBay we bought it for $12.00 US brand new in the box still sealed and there were lots of them available from several different people,that's safer,its legal and its dirt cheap.And yeah the game is a blast.

You received a license for all three when you downloaded them. Their licenses basically say you can use them as you like. All three are distributed for free under open source licensing.\n\nYou can charge whatever you like for your game. You can even charge for redistributing or setting up Apache, MySQL and PHP. All three program's licenses allow that.

It is free to download, yes.  When it is finally released the cheapest version will probably sell for $150 and the most expensive $500, but I am just guessing.\n\nAlso rember it is a BETA, i.e. it's a test version. There are still many bugs which need to be fixed. At the moment you can try it out to see how your computer and your hardware are going to function the release version. Also it is to test your present applications compatibility with the new operating system.

Try going to http://download.com there is alot of free stuff there.\n\nAlso, when you see "free" on the websites. Alot of them say "Download Free." That means it doesn't cost anything to download, not that the product is free.\nIt's a Gimmick to get you to the product so you will want to buy it.

Purchasing an online game gives you the ability to install it and play it on your computer.  In order to play most games online, you need an online subscription to that game which costs more money.

If your asking if there is a program available that will allow you get get any software for free then your asking in the wrong place because getting programs/software by that method is violating copywrite laws.. if your just looking for a program that finds free software then i'd recommend downloads.com or some other website that offer free or trial versions of software.

answer before me is true, partially, but there is a grey area. russian and other overseas site like mp3music.__ are charging based on the BANDWIDTH of your downloads. This means that with low resolution mp3s, you can have an entire album for, about $1. So, even though you are paying, it is not authorized, which to me is far worse than giving it away for free. \n\nThere is still no free lunch and if you want a legal download you have to stick to the biggies, like iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, etc.\n\nthanks for caring

you go to a store or website and buy it. man, i love the straighforward questions where people aren't expecting us to give them instructions on how to break the law for their benefit. :)\n\nEDIT: why would a software that you have to buy just be out there for you to download, i don't think any of us here love you so much we wanna be accessories to piracy for YOU.

There are lots of different reasons for developers to offer their product for free.\n\n1. Some are in beta testing, and they need people to use the software and offer feedback.\n\n2. Tool bars and such can encourage you to use certain search engines or visit sites which they can make money off of.\n\n3. Some are just sample versions to entice you to buy the full version of the software.\n\n4. There are a number of open source developers, who believe that software should be offered for free so it can be built on as a community. You can read more about this category at the link below.

Downloading a program for free that everyone else has to pay for is not only unfair, it's also stealing. Anyone that helps you in aquiring free software is an accomplice in your theft.

Its the new version of stupid. The only way to play a game legit without an internet connection without 'steam'... is to get a noCD. Neverminding the fact that you actually bought it, they dont trust you. ALSO neverminding that people are going to pirate it, ANYWAY.. they make it super annoying to EVERYBODY because they wont trust us.\n\nAnyhow, gamecopyworld.com should have a noCD patch/installer. If not now, then soonish. Its not like you can return it, anyway. :/

What a good question, and it's one that will hopefully be looked at before any free filesharing is banned.\n\nWe have a RIGHT to trade freeware and uncopyrighted material by any means neccessary.  As nice as bootlegs are (some of them) having them made freely available does create a few problems for the people who produce this content, although not as much as they will have you think.  My hope is that a balance will be found with copyrighted material carrying some kind of tag making it not transferrable.  They were able to do this with games very early on so that even if you sent the whole game, you would STILL need the CD to play it.  However shareware and freeware should carry no restrictions whatsoever and their distribution should be totally free.\n\nI know it doesn't answer your question but it's what I think anyway.

I download and share with anyone who wants it. I don't make money off of it. Am I breaking the law? I do the same thing with movies. Music and movies cost way to much to buy from the stores. Blank discs are cheap. When will big companies wake up and realize it is time to lower the costs?
