[–]whats_that_behind_u 278 points279 points ago

I never knew winrar wasn't free until about 2 weeks ago.

[–]i_w8_4_no1 438 points439 points ago

it's not free, but it's free

[–]pU8O5E439Mruz47w 167 points168 points ago

It was an experimentation in "nagware".

[–]jesuspeeker 57 points58 points ago

Pffft, it's not annoying until it stops working. It has yet to stop working.

[–]Punchee 51 points52 points ago

Yeah I'll put up with a lot of shit so long as its free and doesn't come with a toolbar.

[–]RockinRoland 32 points33 points ago

After working in over the phone tech support with some of the customers being elderly, those who make these toolbars that sneak into installations should receive a gutpunch once a week for the rest of their lives.

[–]Irrelevant_Trousers 42 points43 points ago

I wonder if they would do better financially if they instead requested donations?

[–]jsmith84 43 points44 points ago

Isn't that basically what they are doing?

[–]misingnoglic 46 points47 points ago

Yea, but they're wording it like "Your trial ran out, you MUST PAY NOW" and then you close the message and continue, as opposed to "Could you please spare a dime :)"

[–]skewp 28 points29 points ago

If it were donationware, there would be no implied expectation of payment. In the current model, if some huge corporation had deployed WinRAR on thousands of client machines without paying, and the owners of WinRAR found out, they could sue them for copyright violation damages. If it were donationware, that would not be an option, because there would be no implied expectation of payment. I'm sure in the license agreement you click through when installing WinRAR, you're basically agreeing that you would manually uninstall the program on your own after the trial expires (I haven't read it, to be honest).

It's not worth it to go after the $30 from some individual home user, but you can bet it'd be worth it to go after a large company with thousands of violations.

Plus, for WinRAR to be successful, it requires that people use RAR archive files. If the program ceased functioning after the 40 days, someone would not be able to open RAR files anymore, and the inconvenience would drive them away from the file format.

[–]bikegirl80 2 points3 points ago

I think they should have open sourced years ago, led the project, and asked for donations.

[–]ChemicalShenanigans 37 points38 points ago

According to /r/gaming they should write:

Hey guys, we know you're not gonna pay for this. But we're just small time devs. If you love the game, please consider legally purchasing it.

[–]Folye 19 points20 points ago

Honestly, yeah. It's gotten me to pay for way more things. When I view the person at the other end of the tubes of the internet, if I think they are a person, I'm way more likely to give it to them.

It works at a store too. When you have honestly friendly cashiers or salesmen, they do a way better job of selling you something.

[–]Paid_for_WinRar 141 points142 points ago

Yeah right buddy.

[–]thekirbylover 5 points6 points ago

Your username totally made me LOL, +1 for you.

[–]harrythemay 113 points114 points ago

I smell a Bad Luck Brian meme along the lines of 'Gets WinRAR, Expires.' If anyone wants to whore themselves out for little dregs of karma you know where I am.

[–]DAsSNipez 181 points182 points ago

[–]Nine_Tails 80 points81 points ago

No, no...you have to post it as a stand alone meme, not in the comments. That's how reddit works.

[–]DAsSNipez 52 points53 points ago

Aw fuck that.

You take it, go ahead, on me.

[–]Nine_Tails 42 points43 points ago

No, I insist, you go ahead. You deserve it.

[–]tgarnett 32 points33 points ago

[–]Nine_Tails 44 points45 points ago

You are tgarnett.

Buys WinRAR

Dies.

[–]flowstoneknight 11 points12 points ago

Expires. Dies. Same thing.

[–]tian_arg 7 points8 points ago

Actually, I'm pretty sure I saw that one some time ago...

[–]Xuvin 30 points31 points ago

One day I may actually buy winrar, just because they're so awesome in letting you continue to use it after "expiration".

[–]Battletooth 50 points51 points ago

I've been telling myself that for 12 years.

I'll get around to it eventually.

[–]ForcedZucchini 18 points19 points ago

the license is annual so you have to buy it every year!

[–]Swaggin_23 76 points77 points ago

Well fuck them

[–]EndTimer 18 points19 points ago

I now assume that the true purpose of WinRAR, and the goal of its creator, is to just throw that expired message in your face every time you use it. Letting you buy it for life would defeat the purpose. It must come back.

[–]hjnbkjnkj 8 points9 points ago

I think that's their business model: let consumers use it for free, but charge corporations a subscription. Corporations get their software honestly and would never abuse their expiration system for fear of getting sued, but they can get people to like their product and build goodwill by having that system.

[–]ChillPenguins 17 points18 points ago

No point in buying it since the creator is dead.

[–]Razer1103 22 points23 points ago

"Those who knew him respected him for his charisma, for his wit, for his strong bargaining techniques as well as for his unique and penetrating mind."

And those who didn't, will remember him because he created WinRAR.

[–]its-so-easy 2 points3 points ago

"strong bargaining techniques", how much did this company make, considering most didn't bother purchasing the program?

[–]swrdswllngwhr 13 points14 points ago

Now I feel simultaneously less and more bad.

[–]Beretot 12 points13 points ago

I was getting annoyed I kept getting that delayed pop up everytime I wanted to explore the contents of a .rar...

So I pirated it.

I'm an asshole, I know.

[–]Anonyberry 34 points35 points ago

Or you know.. Get the superior 7-Zip for free, but that's just silly.

[–]dys206 3 points4 points ago

7Zip cannot create rar-archive, and the rar-archive protected with a password is a very useful thing.

[–]lasermancer 38 points39 points ago

I didn't even know people still used that.

http://www.7-zip.org/

[–]Razer1103 41 points42 points ago

ಠ_ಠ

Some people, including myself, prefer WinRAR because of the way certain parts of it work.

[–]cadisguy 21 points22 points ago

Have an upvote to get you out of negative territory my winrar brother.

[–]Cloveland 18 points19 points ago

7Z all the way. Never looked back at winrar

[–]DoesNotUseAcronyms 34 points35 points ago

Must have been one hell of a smirk.

[–]halloni 12 points13 points ago

[–]onyeasy 331 points332 points ago

Now before everybody comes in and talks about how Christmas isn't Big J's B-day...can't we be happy with the free shit?

[–]saturnelia 387 points388 points ago

"Is his birthday PARTY".

[–]RedTiger013 108 points109 points ago

This. I like this explanation.

[–]bestbiff 16 points17 points ago

I want to Larry David that explanation. "You can't just celebrate your birthday whenever you want. What you HAVE to have a party? Big deal. You missed it. Try again next year."

[–]makubesu 129 points130 points ago

Good guy Jesus. Knows his birthday isn't on Christmas, doesn't complain about it on the internet.

[–]robbyk123 37 points38 points ago

Is not his birthday... Everybody still gets presents.

[–]Adam_Warlock 321 points322 points ago

I love the Jesus one. For once, a humorous religious post on the internet that isn't sacrilegious or hateful towards anyone. Nicely done. The rest were funny too, I suppose.

[–]morgueanna 169 points170 points ago

Better yet, when you find it, look up its Bacon number.

[–]74penises 39 points40 points ago

What, per chance, is a bacon number?

[–]morgueanna 3 points4 points ago

Check out this thread.

[–]Cuntosaurus 6 points7 points ago

I still don't get it.

[–]morgueanna 13 points14 points ago

A Bacon number is based on the prolific career of the actor Kevin Bacon. He has starred in so many movies that the running joke is if you plug in any actor's name (and sometimes politicians!), they will be within 7 steps of working with Bacon, through working with another actor that has worked with Bacon.

And there you are. Go have fun with it!

[–]Cuntosaurus 4 points5 points ago

[–]loozerr 21 points22 points ago

[–]StairwayToTruth 82 points83 points ago

R.I.P. loozerr

As read by Morgan Freeman

loozerr led a difficult life, full of losses and misspellings. An honest man with a good soul, he just could not get by without experiencing some kind of loss. This time, it was his life.

But we are not here to mourn - we are here to celebrate his life. We can all revel in the fact that he died from laughter. And that is more than most of can claim. In fact, we could all say that loozerr died... a winner.
