Is this however a fact or mere speculation? I mean, people are bitter all the time so I could imagine this happening. But still, this would be an extremely low blow for once and on the other hand, threatening people who actually do this with an artistic vision in mind, not because it brings the bread to the table.The only thing you got wrong was why this started. Someone from these forums had a bit of an egotrip and realized they were not making the same money as others and went to complain about it to fakku.
If you have missed it - Microsoft is removing partnered re-sellers their usage licenses for Microsoft products, requiring them to actually pay a license now to use them. Not like your market reach is more than enough passive payment or anything like thatOK but that still leaves the question: why on earth do they provide a tool to create whatever, but you are not alowed to distribute your content and make money of it. This would be the same as if Microsoft starts sueing anybody who makes money using Window, or Word. What am I missing?
Growing a certain market by providing beneficial deals (like in the free use of a product for a given time, like with Microsoft.), or by simply not regulating the market after providing great tools in order to later down the line - once the market is big enough to drive home a nice chunk of money - is no new tactic.
