Pay per Download vs. Donationware

Thursday July 17, 2003
Over on Alex King's blog, he contemplates an interesting alternative to donationware: pay per download. I've been thinking about the donationware concept lately and I suspect that very few people actually pay. Is it because they aren't comfortable with online transactions? Are they just forgetful? Or is it pure laziness? Come share your thoughts in the forum and vote in two new polls related to this issue:
Have you ever paid for 'donationware' that you use consistently?
Would you pay a small download fee (say, $1) for free software?
