[QUOTE=Napolean;12146810]You should drop the programmers name in here so noone else works with him, thats a very shady thing for a programmer to do. Its common sense that custom work is 99% of the time exclusive as well, which means.. you dont want copies for sale all over.
It's also bullshit that you financed the production of the software and that the programmer is now turning around and reselling it for even cheaper. Why did you have to pay more than everyone else? If he was going to resell it later he should have charged you retail as well.
Whenever I talk to programmers, they try to say I have to pay 40% more if I want to keep my ideas/software exclusive, not resold, or remade, plagarized, etc.
but I'm a push over for a lot of things and dont have the best connections. In the programming world, what is the STANDARD etiquette as far as innovative software ideas are concerned?
If you think of some revolutionary software and pay good rates to have it made, are you supposed to pay 40% extra to keep it private, even then they could still clone it and make a few changes to say they didnt copy you.
What is the main consensus moral wise in the programming community on this? I have like 10 programs ive never had made because I dont trust that it wont be resold or copied in some way unless I get in house programmers that sign their life away
