Default Why does everything have to concern money ?

A while ago I received an offer to remove spyware out of P2P programs and I would get paid for it .

I declined the offer for several reasons :
1 - it's a hobby for me , I don't need to get paid .
2 - If they pay me I have to follow their rules , wich I don't want to .

My parents know that I got such an offer .
Now everyday at the dinner table I get into a big fight with them .
They think that nothing comes for free and I should not continue Clean LimeWire without getting paid by somebody .

I disagree ...
If everybody would think like this the concept "freeware" would not exist .
Heck , 9/10 of the programs on my computer are freeware .
And I think this is also true for most people .

How the hell do I calm this situation down ?
BTW : Anybody wanna swap parents ?

You're a saint, VTOL.

Just tell you're parents that you deeeeply respect their insight, and that you wish you were as matured as they are. And leave it there, do whatever you like to do after all. If they find out you aren't following their expectation, show a remorseful face and tell them you wish you would have been good enough to earn their love. 9 out of 10 times, this will work! Your parents will start telling you that they love you regardless of what you do, and so on...

And do you want to swap parents with mine? BE MY GUEST. But no refunds!

Cool

You should only do it for cold hard cash. Let some loser do it for free. When he's watching Star Trek in his trailer you can be in a nice house with a secure future.

My future is not affected by getting money of this or not .
Let me guess : You're a freeloader on Gnutella too right ?
