[drama]
what the hell? i needed a bit of code written because i can't find any scripts or plugins that will do what i want them to. so i write up a specific detail of what functions i want in said script, drop top dollar to have a custon script built, and two months later unnamed programmer icq's to ask what he should charge for retail on previously mentioned work. somewhat chapped i say at least what i payed for it, to which the reply is "that's a little expensive for retail isn't it?"
so basically what i payed good money for, is going to soon be available to everyone at half the price. the script worksvery well for what i wanted it to do. programmer obviously sees this and decides he can make more money off it.
am i completely fucked for having any options here? this is kind of what i am assuming. however, at the time it was being coded i assumed that being as i payed in full for the expense of writing this code i would get some sort of exclusive use on it. i mean fuck, i paid for a custom script because i didn't want every knob i'm competing with to have what i got going on. i wanted something different.
fuck, when you pay for something like this it should be yours. maybe it's just my opinion, but whatever. i guess from now on i'll be discussing exclusivity rights before i drop any money, and to anyone else who thinks they're shit is theirs once they've bought it, you should too..
this is such a stupid ass situation, lessen learnt i guess...
