Question Do you think downloaders should pay for skins?

If everyone that downloaded the skins I made, had paid 50 pence, I would be a very rich teenager . On the other hand, less people would probably download skins.

What do you think skinners?

I'd never charge any money for my skins.

I think if this is so, then there would be many skins which were build up in a rush and so have many bugs...

If it was contracted work i'd charge. But seeing that it's a hobby i wouldn't.

JayEm, you can land over the path 10 at LA Airport now......

Charging for skins that are made for fun and to promote Winamp wich (was) is free isn't the best thing to do as start.

To make corporate skins for companies and get paid for your work on them it's ok, but not per download......

It'd damn rock if you would get payed for skin per download. Like just imagine if you got $1 for every d/l and you got 300,000 downloads.

I'd charge for my skins, if they weren't all copywright infringement.


Who is the milkman? What is the purpose of the goggles?

10,064,364 people can't all be wrong

I don't have a big enough ego and delusions of grandeur to show my skins in these forums, there are other factors as well but best not to mention those in case I bruise one or two of the more fragile wannabe's who hang out in here
