ASP.Net developers who work for Microsoft (and are about the only Microsoft
employees who hang out here) don't have any interest in "someone possibly
abusing their products." And neither do the rest of us. Why?
1. There are so many people "abusing" Microsoft products worldwide that
Microsoft has people whose only job it is to deal with it. The rest of the
company is paid to do other things, and get paid for what they do, not for
doing someone else's job.
2. The Internet is full of abuse. And there are newsgroups for people who
want to talk about it. This isn't one of them. There are also organizations
that deal with abuse, and domain personnel and mailboxes for reporting
abuse. Again, this is not germaine to this newsgroup.
3. The purpose of topic-specific newsgroups is to make it easier to find
information about the topic one is interested in. If everyone with a bee in
their bonnet about something simply posted to any newsgroup, these
newsgroups would be cluttered with all kinds of irrelevant information. Your
information is irrelevant to this newsgroup.
This is a newsgroup for programmers and developers using ASP.Net and related
Microsoft .Net technologies. It exists for the purpose of helping developers
with problems related to ASP.Net in particular. Programmers are people who
employ logic on a daily basis. Therefore, if you are a programmer, you must
be a very poor one.

Would you want to blindly sign up for a web site that will make you
money, when in reality you could be sued later if other "members" are
actually judged to be your employees by the IRS?
Would you post in groups where you think developers frequent to get
their input? Would you keep asking questions if you think the people
involved practice denial of the issue and make jokes about it?
Would you actually think you could run a business with thousands of
products if you had to manually download one picture at a time? Would
you then think that if you pay for a "service" that allows you to sell
products online is really just a virtual mirror of your parent
"wholesaler" web site knowing full well that you are entering into an
agreement with virtually no control over the inventory, or the ability
to recruit new "members"?
Would you then ask yourself if you are really in business for yourself,
or are you an employee of another company according to IRS laws?
Would you then want to alert other software developers? Would you come
to this conclusion after the "CEO" declares that this "service" is
available only through one company? Why not let multiple companies
offer the same "service" with different options?
Is this really a "service" or a virtual employment relationship? Do
truckers ask for business plans of a company before they make a
shipment?
Would you come to this conclusion because in order to appear to run
your own business with SMC as the supplier, your customers think these
are your products, your policies, when they are not?
Would you come to these conclusions because the only way to sell
products is online according to your business strategy? So should
clients of Microsoft Products and developers encourage the proper use
of their products?
Do you think if you make people aware of your concerns, it is more
trouble to fix the problem or is it easier to deny it?
What groups would you post to?
Would you make a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission?
Would you contact the IRS?
Would you bring this up for discussion in your college class? | |
