Sidetracking the issue into infructuous discussions like '
Best Platform' etc is the customary tactic, as usual ..............
That is not the issue in question .........
Simply put ....... Amibroker is a software product
If
YOU find that it is useful/ helpful to
YOU in
YOUR trading/ investment process and you'd like to continue to use it well beyond the (fairly generous) trial period ....... then it is incumbent upon
YOU to purchase the product!!!
If
YOU find it not to be useful ........ If
YOU find it to be useful but the cost of the product is not to
YOUR liking OR
YOU are not capable of affording it (Despite the fact that its a one time payment of a reasonable amount, as opposed to recurring expense in comparison to many other platforms out there) due to you present situation (maybe the currency conversion for your region puts you at a disadvantage) ........ then move on to a platform/ product which
YOU find to be better suited to
YOUR requirement and situation!!! Whether Amibroker is the best platform out there OR not has
NO bearing on the issue!!! And nobody is twisting your arm into using it under duress!!!
Even though its an acknowledged fact that Tomasz is one of the
finest Code Architects (a CodeSmith, if you will), of current times ....... his capability OR
alleged lack of it
is besides the point!!!!
Whether Tomasz directed his energies into making his product better rather than waste time and effort into making it more secure ....... Whether
YOU for the purpose of progressing your skills in cracking due to an interest in the subject were able to crack the product
is besides the point!!!
Whether Tomasz is ..... OR is not a billionaire is
besides the point. He has got where he is now without asking
YOU to show him the way!!!
Such
besides the point statements are categorized as being willfully disingenuous!!!
The point is ........ that for him - the creation, provision and betterment of the product to people who may find it useful is a means of earning his livelihood!!! And
YOU are taking that away from him and his family by stealing/ piracy!!!
Think about it!!! How would
YOU feel towards someone who did the same to
YOU & YOUR family!!!
That's incorrect!!! The service and support is very much available for legitimate, registered Indian users of the software. The support for
illegitimate Indian users was constrained to be discontinued because -
- Not only most of these users claim to be trial users but shamelessly
demanded FREE service & support (read free coding freebies) even months beyond the date of expiry of trial subscription, wherein it would be readily obvious even to the meanest intellect that they were falsely continuing to portray themselves as
trial users!!!
- Not only most of these users were the kind who were not bothered to put in any effort in making themselves proficient with the usage of the software but they were also the kind who were completely bereft of basic forum ethics & etiquette and would think of nothing of barging in on unrelated threads with their
illiterate demands without even bothering to resort to a
search!!!
- In addition, most of these users appear to harbour the false belief that perceived anonymity on the net gives them a licence to conduct themselves in an obnoxious and ill mannered fashion in forums!!!
Is it any wonder then???!!!
I wouldn't care to tender an opinion whether these tendencies are the hallmark of the larger percentage of population in India!!! BUT it is a fact that such people have led to the situation of Indians being treated largely with
contempt in forums the world over!!!
And this does queer the pitch for the people here who want to do the right thing!!!
So .........
