BlackIRC keyfiles available online
« on: July 10, 2004, 03:28:30 PM »
Recently we have experienced a rise in queries regarding the
availability of keyfiles for the - since beginning of 2000 -
discontinued title BlackIRC. In order to also serve the demands of these interested users, we are now offering an online version of "BlackIRC 1.1" for purchase. The online-version contains a keyfile and the latest public version of BlackIRC.


At this point, we want to underline, that there is no more any support available for BlackIRC and that the development has been stopped since the year 2000. This offer thus does only address users, that don't need any support and simply want to purchase a keyfile.

From the IOSPIRIT-website:

Funny to read all the comments here. Been a big cheerup this morning ;) .. kinda funny, that there are still people around that think you can get rich from - maybe - 10 sold 5 EUR keyfiles, which, after substraction of handling fees, tax, etc. could not even finance one good meal. And all this artificial outrage about something that will never affect these people .. brilliant! Reminds me of the funny guy last year, that said I'm greedy because I refused to sell him software at half the price of what I previously paid for ..

But, seriously - and I know this is hard to believe, there are people around, that just want to say "thank you for the software I used for free for the last 4 years" and/or want to personalize their freeware copy, and they now can, if they want to. But sure, if you get something for free, why should you say thank you or give something in return? After all, this is the AMIGA market! Everything has to be free - and be it through piracy, which has always helped this platform. Boot, rob and hang the bloody {bleep} for actually having done free work for you! Oh, getting sarcastic and off-topic again .. ;)

Have a nice and cheerful sunday.

Best regards,

Felix Schwarz

You're right: only in the Amiga market you will see people re-releasing and asking money for software that has been previously released as Freeware.


Two points:
1) Nobody is asking for your money. Read again what I wrote.
2) BlackIRC is still freeware, always has been since 2000. Not even a single bit was changed. There is no such thing as a re-release. In addition, see point 1.

Best regards,
