Why not take your right to copy idea one step further and do what the friendly
folks at AMWAY have been doing for years, that right Pyramid Software. Instead
of trying to sell someone a piece of software you make him a "distributer" and
sell him a sample kit of your software. You set it up so that if he sells any
copies then both you and he will each get a percent of the sell. In addition
if he recruits any distributers then everything that they sell will pass
through both of you. This could be the opportunity of a lifetime for someone.
You only have to sell it to two of your friends and if they go out and sell to
two more of their friends then it can quickly pyramid you to higher Tax
brackets. Its simply a matter of making it in your customers best interest to
want to see your software in everyones computer. I don't see why someone
hasn't thought of this before.
