I can only repeat that, personally, neither my wife nor I has ever met anyone who couldn't afford to get JAWS - and we're not talking about affluent people - just mostly ordinary folk.

It's a shame that I get the feeling that some expect to have certain equipment as of right. I won't comment on whether that is something with which I agree, but just repeat that Simon is the first person I've heard suggesting that he can't afford JAWS, and if that's so, then I'm very sorry for him.

Hello Simon,

Could you explain what it is a bout you that would mean that you are
entitled to anything that others have been able to buy with their hard
earned incomes?
Even in a communist society which you seem to aspire to, where it
might be "to each what he needs" they are not that equal. The Russian
and Chinese oligarchies are very much more privileged than the vast
majority of the population.



Regards John

There is one fundamental flaw with this Email.  They are no longer
Freedom Scientific.

Also, what is wrong with capitalism?  People can vote with their feet.
In the latest Windows 10 2004, Narrator itself is getting so good
that I even think it is as good as NVDA now.

All the best

Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Freedom Scientific, between Capitalism and Human
Rights, your participation in this crucial dialog is absolutely

Freedom Scientific is the largest manufacturer that produces
assistive technology solutions worldwide. Nonetheless, it manipulates
this throttled market through base policy. At its inception, it
charges visually impaired clients so high to qualify them licensed to
use Jaws, for certain time.
After their license period has expired, they are required to upgrade,
through paying substantial amount to temporarily use the license
again and after awhile, it eventually expires. You are now trapped in
this vicious cycle. To perpetually use their Jaws, you have got to
pay them money, relentlessly. And, despite what they throw at you in
their unvalued mendings, updates etc, you ought to give them money,
with a smile. Even scripts which are additional elements destined to
enhance performance, are going to cost you a fortune. Now, the
question here shall naturally be, why? What for do I need to pay all
this, to obtain a not so well given product?
People are generically enslaved to this concept. Jaws has somewhat
influenced its users to unconsciously pay to keep upgraded, without
asking themselves, um, is it really worth it? Freedom Scientific
takes advantage of its broadly mega establishment to tremendously
dominate more people and trammel them into the Jaws immense delusion.
I fortuitously, have wholly emancipated myself from this grave deceit.
Why am I need to be infinitely impounded to such capitalistic entity?
Furthermore, by doing so, Freedom Scientific explicitly violates
human rights declaration recognised by United Nations consignment,
which plainly states, that equal access of information is eminently
professed to everyone. Thence, I mutually urge firm Jaws users and
Freedom Scientific staff to interact with this proposition. I do not
attempt here to politicise the matter. But for certain, this
conversation has got an ethical scope affiliated with it. I am keen
to stiffen this useful discussion and exchange opinions. I personally
feel so comfortable using open source solutions. What about you folks?
Do you feel somewhat compelled to stick to Jaws, despite the fact,
that it costs you more than what it actually deserves? Is the money
you pay worth what Jaws offers? I in this undisclosed list, have
included Freedom Scientific representatives, to hear their
perspective as well. I just hope, not to be shunned, disposed or
affronted based on my sentimental notions. I now look forward to
hearing from people, everywhere across the globe. Thanks for reading,
Mustafa
