This thread is an excellent exhibit on taking "free" software for granted.
As soon as Mike went offline for a week the sky fell even though most of the commenters on this thread never paid him anything.

I paid him as soon as he came back online LOL
Good for you, and I truly hope you're not disappointed. Since learning that MakeMKV is from Russia, I'd feel more comfortable if the software were open source. Nothing against Russians individually, but the country does seem to be home to some unscrupulous people. That said, based on posts from those who've bought licenses, I may still buy a license once I've gained more experience using it.
So really you are saying that you don't want to buy it but will carry on using it for free that doesn't make much sense.

You really don't read very well, do you?

Maybe I didn't read it properly but when people say things like they will buy it when they had more experience, IMO that's just saying I will carry on using it for free, you don't need much experience learning from how to use it.

the people behind it are from an area of the world where things are "different" than they are in the West. Any one of those would be cause for caution.
Come on, I live in one of those areas that is "different" from how things are done in the West.
