And I went on their page to subscribe for a lifetime membership, and they wanted 20 bucks, which I was okay with, but it does not include Major Updates! I guess I'll buy it and just click the do not check for updates button but that seemed kind of, I don't know.
I still think they're pretty cool for not hassling you more than they do.
Am I wrong that this bothered me?
Why support closed source software that hassles you when 7-zip is open source and works great?
Ark is awesome, though it seems it's not available on Windows.
I would just donate that money to 7zip or PeaZip creators that would benefit everybody.
WinRar works good with .rar files because they created them just to sell buissness licences for something that can be as easly done with tar and gzip.I bought a winrar license to a friend of mine as a Christmas gift not long ago.
Correct me if im wrong, but I think I read/watched something a few years ago which basically explains why winrar has a free trial but never actually enforces it. It had something to do with copyright law details, and how making it a paid product extends the copyright protections on it so that corporations cant legally use the code for a longer time. Im not sure if I'm even remembering it correctly, because it was several years ago
You have given them a donation for using their software like forever. All fine, no ?
The open source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeaZip can do rar it seems.
