I love the first paragraph -- but a translation is needed; here's mine:
"I downloaded this LiveWire software. It is non-free software -- both non-free in beer and non-free in liberty! It sucked and didnt' work right, and I didn't know if it was due to bugs or the software being crippleware/demoware or what, so I plunked down 10 bucks for the "pro" version in the hope that the "pro" version was better. After all, since the pro version costs money, it HAS to be better, right?"
Myself, I find myself wondering two things: isn't the whole free software movement aimed at getting rid of software licenses like LimeWire's? And secondly, how many sets of Ginsu knives does Tina own? Those TV marketers must *love* her...
