Long ago, before we had a worldwide web and people communicated in a groundbreaking, but difficult format called Usenet, someone came up with an idea called "freeware." People soon determined that they preferred to get pretty good stuff over the Internet for free rather than more professional and polished stuff for money and that has caused a great deal of disruption as the Internet evolved to become a dominant force of content delivery.
