You Can Charge a Fee to Distribute for FrostWire.
 
As I ready the license agreement you can charge a fee for distributing Frostwire. See the FrostWire license agreement below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


The GNU General Public License (GPL)
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

mp3downloading: You are an idiot, not because you are saying that you can charge for GPL products, but because mp3downloading is a well KNOWN scam site.

About the scam business (or how to make money on others work):

First you tell people that they have access freely to legal stuff, implying that if they pay for your repackaged software they can dl anything which is false.

Not only selling free software is HIGHLY questionable, but you don't even support your users NOR give them the proper info about the origin of the program.

You ****ing scammer, please know that we'll fight you not only because you fraud people, but because you don't respect GPL, by not giving us access to source code and to changes you may do to the software.

THE only thing you could charge would be personnalized support, but this is NOT what you advertise on those SCAM websites. You are frauding newbies, that's it. Know that the support on the forum here and on the FW.com site is YEARS above what you could even dream at offering support.

You are irresponsable and need to go in jail, your point of view is not EVEN defendable, burn in hell, you idiot scammers.

We will fight you!

Say hello to the FBI for fraud & deception. Thief, liar & cheat. You advertise for what you cannot deliver! You do not control or own what you advertise about! Low life!
Sell drugs & involved in ... are you ... not half obvious by your actions. You smell of it.

You come here trying to defend your actions, give back every cent to every soul you've ripped off then we'll be willing to listen to your concerns. Stop your google advertising for what you don't own & your deceptive advertising which is against the law in many countries. You make the 1st move. Then we can discuss.

Funny how telling people to fill FBI requests at last make react scammers... This encourages me a lot. I'm most determined now to encourage scammed users to complain to authorities.

Burn them (scammers) all!!!

Ciao to the others ;)

This message comes up when you try to get software from mp3 dowloading.com
"Thank-you for your interest but we are not accepting any new customers"

Let us hope this is not a temporary glitch:):):) ... Was our original poster trying to tell us something?

As for all the other nasty things that people said in this thread ... nicely put, people

Peerless November 11th, 2005 04:21 AM

I guess lawyers are lawyers...this IP traces to a law firm in Salt Lake City...still, I bet the church elders would have some interest in knowing what type of business is being run in their town..

Parasite
 
Guys

Was that parasite (mp3downloading) really trying to justify his existence by trying to convince us that what he was doing is right.

Check out this quote:

The most successful fraudsters have a capacity to look us in the eye, to engage our trust and then betray it without a qualm
The reality is that he was trying to stare us down.

He Failed

PS. All those that have been scammed by the parasite known as mp3downloading should complain to the FBI at the following website, without further delay:

"...you can charge a fee for distributing Frostwire."

I'm sure that's right. If someone wishes to pay for what they can get for free, let them pay.
