think of it like BV said, microsoft doesn't let you buy 1 copy of windows and install it on as many computers as you want do they? so why should scripts be sold that way, because you're to cheap to actually pay for it multiple times?
Of course. To make an analogy, think about how many blogs one can create with the free Wordpress CMS. It's just impractical to do multiple MGP or tube sites with a licensed tube-style script if you are paying for each one separately. For the scripts that charge money I understand how the licensing works, one license per site. Some people will need the features they offer and the add-ons and for them it will be worth it, especially if you have a very complex site. For the rest of people just throwing up a MGP style video site, or a niche tube site that doesn't get hundreds of thousands of hits a day,one is better off using one of the free scripts with a little ingenuity on the design and see if you can find a formula that works to make sales before you spend a lot of money on licenses in my opinion.
