The problem is that they are charging money for things that are free to distribute. I think most of the Graffle creators would be upset with this development if they were aware of how disingenuous this was. In fact, they (Graffletopia) are taking advantage of the fact that most of the items are not licensed in any way. For example: https://www.graffletopia.com/stencils/1197 This guy could very easily put his graffle on github (as Viget has done here: https://github.com/vigetlabs/Twitter-Bootstrap-for-Omnigraff... and License it as MIT, GPL, whatever. $36 is not a reasonable amount to ask for. Nor is $24, especially in the days of Amazon S3 hosting, or even putting a slick static page up and pointing contributors and downloaders to Github. I respect the marketplace aspect, letting posters set a price on their work and taking something off the top. That's not dissimilar at all to what the Tuts+ and Medialoot marketplaces do. But they don't charge you to download their freebies, and charging someone for a membership to download more than one free item a month is total bullshit. |
