Wog, Your point about pirating music and movies is very well put. Stealing is stealing is stealing is stealing. I do, however, agree that there should be some way to make a decent, reliable screen reader for those who need it. The freedom of information and knowledge a computer can impart is a "right" to any human otherwise we should have stayed in the Dark Ages where knowledge and education was strictly controlled by the Church.

Subject: Re: Crack For Jaws 64 Bit Win 7 I think NVDA is nearly there. I think it need's about another year. My points re apple stand. Would you still say you couldn't steal food if the alternative was starving? Because for us computing and the freedom it gives us is a civil right and a human right. Maybe you think I'm wrong to try and get a crack. That's fair enough - though am I really doing anything worse than the milions of people who download movees, music etc. illegally? (Truth is that copyright law is out of date, out of touch and on its way out.) even if you do think I'm wrong, you should still agree with me that something should be done re the 3rd world and Jaws. Will people on this list start a petition? Or does your moral outrage extend only to criticizing me for looking for a crack?

I think the product is overpriced, and I highly object to charging for skipped upgrades or SMA's where no support was ever offered for those versions. If that business model works, they should be increasing the product cost of each new version to make new customers pay for versions they never owned, right?
The problem with the system is there is no real competition on par with JAWS and there probably won't be for a long time. Even a great new p roduct would take forever to gain enough market share that it is a viable replacement in the workplace.
If the Coke company wants to start charging $20 for a can of Coke, they can do that, but as long as there is Pepsi and the odd RC Cola (or whatever) Coke would loose a lot of money in the process of jacking up their prices. That applies to most everything we buy. Cell phones got much cheaper in recent years because (in part) there has been competition in the marketplace. When you have no competition, you can pretty well set pricing at will. Make no mistake about it, Freedom Scientific is not a non-proffit organization.
Freedom could absolutely use some competition, at least from the consumers' standpoint. It drives pricing down and product quality up. That however doesn't mean that if Cokes (my personal favorite) go up to $20 apiece I can justify stealing them because I think they are overpriced. That's where it all breaks down for me.

unfortunately, nobody said that greed doesn't have a whole lot to do with all this, because it certainly does. also, do you really think jaws costs a thousand bucks? i'll bet it costs freedome about a hundred and fifty
to twwo hundred to actually produce, if that. oh well, looks like there isn't one answer that fits all.

Just one thing else for interest sake now that you mention steeling from software companies pockets. I know this is getting off topic but end of last year sometime I read a study, they actually said if Microsoft considerably drop their software prices for windows and office, they'll actually make more of a profit than they currently do. Because at the moment windows and office is the most pirated software worldwide and if it's cheeper more people will buy it. If you think about it most people pirate software because they can't afford it so imagine how many more will buy windows if it was like $40 or $50, just look at Apple's Lion OS, the upgrade cost people $30 for 10 machines assentially $3 per computer.

I don't agree with piracy but agree that jaws and most other assistive devices are crazally expensive. If you really can't aford jaws then use NVDA, it's totally free and feeture wise it's rite up there with jaws, in fact there's some semi accessible software which I can access better with NVDA than with jaws. Something else somebody mentioned, does it really cost $3800 to get a guide dog in the US? If I understand rite, that's crazy. In South africa we pay about the equivalent of $15 or $20 but then again for stuff like jaws we pay about equivalent of $1500. We don't easally get government bersaries for assistive devices but can claim assistive devices back from the government through income tax but you must still have the cash to fork out and then wait a year or more before you can claim it back.

Please, Adrian, let me know where I justified the piracy. Only I put
on the table a thing that is not never mentioned here. As I wrote in my last e-mail leave away the "easy words" I know that this topic turn very unconfortable. Sorry, but is a part
of your reality. I promise you do not respond any future e-mail regarding
that. All the best. -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2012 1:58 PM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Subject: RE: Crack For Jaws 64 Bit Win 7
This is like saying that because some people get paid government benefits, tax cheating is a legitimate means of making things equal. I'm surprised anyone on this list would justify theft.
I'm sorry to extend an off-topic thread, but I can't let this kind of thinking go unchallenged.

Are you suggesting that some of us paid less than the full price of $1000 for JAWS? The only way this would be possible without buying a
cracked or illegal copy would be to have it purchased for us by a rehab agency.
