Title
aFreeGo.com - Freeware and shareware downloads
Description
aFreeGo.com lists shareware, freeware and demo software that you can try for free before buying. The use of the shareware method of distributing programs has been around as a concept for many years. However, recently more authors (including giants such as Microsoft) have started distributing their applications using the shareware method. More and more end users are also becoming more comfortable with the concept of downloading software from the Internet and trying it out before paying for it.
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to purchase it. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
