    The demos are free. There is no support for demo writers other than
    fame, which IMHO some of them deserve.

    Wild Copper, for example, claimed to come from some computer shop in
    France, and stuck anti-Piracy stuff in at least one of their demos.

    They (WC) produce the best demos I've seen yet (so maybe I haven't seen
    many :).
