If we all had that attitude, I guess no software would ever get developed, no tools would be written, no music would be recorded, no movies filmed. If we don't pay the creators, how do we expect them to live to keep creating?

I'm willing to pay them if they haven't already been suitably reimbursed for their time, skills and effort. That's what I'm attempting to find out here.

windows XP has BUILT in archive support, if you're worried about giving some dude/company money because you think they've made too much already, then just uses what's built in to your OS

I don't care if the creator of Irfanview lives in a hut or a castle- his program has saved me such much grief I happily send him money and hope he continues to work on his baby.
That's your prerogative. Mine is to allocate my resources based on need. If a software creator lives in a castle, he's obviously more well off than me -- I need my money more than he does. If necessary, I'll find a different software program if my conscience ever bothers me enough to not want to find an end run around registration.
On another note, I have a few questions about ImToo and Nero. Anyone who knows much about the companies/individuals that produce both of those wares, please send me a PM.

Unfortunately, I have Vista.
