giving away a subscription to wincustomize.com

Tuesday, October 28, 2003 by mfaccone | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I have asked an administrator here if I could do this... no answer to my email yet so I figured I would get it started.
I am wanting to give my subscription of wincustomize.com to someone here who can't afford it.
I am using the honesty program here so please don't ask if you make more than 20,000.00 US Dollars a year, or if you live at home with your parents that make more than 20,000.00 US Dollars a year, or your parents are giving you an allowance and sending you to college.
If you fall somewhere below that catagory and really want the subscription which is good for almost 2 years... give or take a month I think.... and Jafo returns my email without sarcasm and/or locking the thread, then let me know here. We will decide who will receive it if it is possible. If, due to pride or whatever, you wish to remain completely anonymous then you can email me at [email protected] or you could email Jafo here.

Well.. an admin will have to make the decision about that, which my request has been made. As far as it being negative in a positive guise... its taking an unfortunate negative situation and trying to make a positive result.

It's unfortunate that all of this is a result of Wincustomize.com's protection of  a commercial work by Lane KarKruff  http://www.blueskyheart.com/  [as is only proper].

Quite absurd, really.

And, no, the thread won't be locked unless it, too deteriorates into more personal attack.

No.. it was a result of the way it was handled. I'd already told you that I agreed with the reason it was rejected. So don't try to make it look like I was trying to pass some commercial work as my own or something.
As far as the subject of this thread.. if we could get back to that... JAFO.. is it possible for a subscription to be transfered?
One question... requiring one answer

I have a simply solution - why don't you just ask for a refund? although maybe that is not possible.

Contact [email protected] [T-Man]

He will be able to answer that.

There's your one answer to your one question.

Nowhere was/is that the case.

Refunds are usually given if the product is faulty... not if there are problems with the sales people.
The product here wasn't faulty... and I would rather not be refunded, even if that were possible which I doubt.
But, as a paid subscriber, I would also think that instead of wincustomize just revoking my access to this site as they suggest that they would allow the paid subscription to continue with someone else as owner.

Thank you! If you would have given that information out sooner...
instead of redundant responses.
Oh well... waiting for a real decision on this.

Redundant responses are a product of obscure communication.

You are 'paid to be an a$$hole' [your words], but I am not paid to be at your beck and call.

Had you bothered to look in the 'About' section at left you would see this.....

Now...the bit you are interested in is the last entry, as it's alphabetical, and 'T' comes after 'J'....and the salient phrase is 'Account Information'....

And if you had read my first post in this thread... I asked an administrator if I could do this... email sent yesterday... no response.
That email wasn't necessarily sent to you.

Bah. Giving the subscription away would be passing the apps to someone who didn't pay for them. It wouldn't be like handing my Photoshop CD to someone, it would be like copying it and handing it to someone. This is a no-brainer.

Something like Poll answer # 6 No, why pay when you get download it for free?
Most people here polled that way on music.
Part of the double standards I see all over the place these days.

I should be able to give a subscription as a gift... especially when I have none of the applications that come with this subscription loaded on my computer

Jeez... more talk about double standards. And I thought we already talked about that?

I answered #4....as no other option was suitable.

Double standards may exist in the minds/morals of some site members, but definitely NOT in this site's administration.

I received it, though...but as per my previous email, I told you I'd expended sufficient of my unpaid time dealing with you one-on-one and was, as I put it in that email ' sufficient communication has transpired to resolve this, and am loathe to expend any further time. There's 720,000 other site members to consider.'

Now I'm stuck here ensuring truth does not become the first casualty, as always.

China wanted him or his subscription?

And if they both want the subscription can it be a caged match and who has the best Camera, because we definitly want pic's of it

Not that this post is about EULA but if he is not using it anymore and give is to someone else how is that against anything?

It is still paid for and he would no longer have download privileges under buying said product.

The new person would have it.

Same account, new owner
Old owner has nothing (No copies no anything)

Technically the only thing I see here as a problem is that does he delete all said software on his computer before giving away the account.

Since he is talking about w years I assume this is the WinCustomize browser app.


For me, I wouldn't want to smurf away my stuff because of a smurfin thread.

What the smurf is that about?

"how is that against anything?"

No *longer* have download privledges. He downloaded the apps, he gives his subscription to someone else, and now they will have the right to do the same without paying. How is that different than giving an unauthorized copy to someone?

You can't assume he'll just delete the software from his system.
