It points to an article at the San Francisco Chronicle describing some of these money makers. One banker claims he's made $25000 since he started with Diablo 2 and Ultima Online! Who are the people paying real money for this stuff? A few bucks is one thing, but a few hundred? I believe this has been talked about on /. before, but is the 'problem' getting worse? Is it a 'problem' at all?"

"Is it okay to sell something you didnt create?"
I think RedHat, Debian, etc... would answer "Yes" to that question.

So you're saying that if I buy something online and they only take credit card / money order, and refuse to accept cash, I can take them to court???? I don't think so there Jonsey...

Stop talking out your ass.
