Logos Bible Software: An Inside Look

Its not a sin to charge any amount. Maybe you should read the story of the Labourers In The Vineyard. But it does say to freely give as you freely receive. And we're merely talking about bits and bytes of known knowledge. If you AGREE to a price then it is NOT/and COULD NOT be a sin to charge one a substantial amount or another an insubstantial amount. Simply do not agree to a price and find another way like SHARING, bargaining or splitting cost etc.

Sure, and I have many items in my collection worth thousands and thousands. But that's not the point.

Their cost point does not justify any service and support.

It's not stealing.

And not all theft is punishable.

And Theft is not a capitol offense.

Many things to consider before you speak to me about justifying the price for this system.

And how many of those items did you pay for?
Nike shoes cost 6 cents a pair to make. They sell them for nearly $200 a pair. Is it ok for me to go to the store and take them, because their cost does not justify their price?
I'm not justifying their price. I'm simply saying, if you can't or won't pay their asking price, don't buy it. Or, better yet, don't steal it.

If you knew kike shoes cost 6 cents and people were in bondage and were treated without dignity, you should do the right thing and not support the slavery... simple - Don't buy them... The point is not connected to the issue here.

The point is precisely the same. Two companies paying next to nothing for something, charging a huge fee. You feel it is ok to steal from the one selling the Bible, because they charge a lot for something, but, would never steal from the other.
I agree, to some extent, they charge much more than they should. But, I also know, what this software can do saves so much time, and offers quite a bit. But, it goes back to what you said: if you dont like it, dont buy it. In your case, dont steal it.

Not the same and I would not be stealing if I came across a Pirated or original copy and I would take it with out a problem and Know God would not hold me blameworthy.

Tell that to the lady who was penalized millions of dollars for what her kids downloaded.
Tell that to the courts.
And, if you have the cahoneys to tell God you didn't steal, then so be it. You have to give an account for your actions. Not me. I have enough to give account for my own self than to worry about what someone else does

I'm not accountable for another individual in most cases, and I could care less what mans demonic God damned courts have to say with anything against Godly Fundamental issues, I willingly break ALL their laws and if they try to stop me I will kill over my RIGHT to DIS-OBEY all their satanic doctrine.

You'd have to PROVE that this is what we are talking about would be STEALING and that IT would incur a PENALTY for me which I would or should be concerned about paying... anyway, glad your done.

If someone has legitimately obtained a copy & gives it to another then that is not stealing. Its called SHARING. Greedy men do not want others to SHARE. FACT: they revamped their software to be UNSHAREABLE to those not fully trustworthy. What a shame on them. I have family whom I love but do not fully trust, so I can't even share this new (per)version with them. The Creator isn't even that evil to think of not making His Book of Life freely available because most are a people He doesn't trust.

The keyword here is legitimately What the other poster speaks of is illegal copying of software simply because they dont agree with the price
Logos has assembled some of the best out of print materials available And in some cases current copyrighted materials (eg TNIV)
They have to pay for the team to assemble the materials to work properly pay their employees to offer some of the best support available anywhere and make a profit too
It is expensive but for the time it saves its worth it
