Barking Up the Wrong Tree

Last time I checked, the whole point of file-sharing was to create a massive online bank of media and software that people could access free of charge. All legal and ethical debates aside, it only makes sense that the application used to jump onto these networks are free as well. Apparently David Watanabe, who I'll admit makes slick apps, wants a ridiculous $16.99 for an Acquisition license. To me, that $16.99 might as well be spent in the iTunes Music Store since Acquisition doesn't really deal with legitimate downloads. Like I said, he makes cool apps, but there's a little thing called a "market" that he's completely making up by trying to sell file-sharing software to people. Am I wrong?

(This post prompted by the absurd number of pop-ups and nags to purchase an Acquisition license)

UPDATE: Well well well... perhaps this app won't be around much longer.
