I may have missed this, since I tuned out of this discussion several weeks
ago (and it's *still* going on?!), but has anybody brought up the point that
a site which feeds others may be able to collect payment from the poster of
shareware?  Most postings result in $0.00 income for the poster, yet
shareware attempts to get more than that.  Seems only fair that the site
paying for some of the distribution should collect a percentage of all
profits made, don't you think?

Or do you disagree with TANSTAAFL?
