Maybe Free is Too Cheap
I was recently contacted by someone asking if the page flip effect currently being sold on this site for 200€ (about $275) was using the old code I gave away for free. Much to my surprise, it was. The 200€ price increase doesn’t even add any new features.
I can appreciate a guy trying to make a buck and all, but that price seems especially steep when you consider the fact that you’ll only be getting a SWF file (not the FLA) because as the site states:
“We don’t sell our source files, so you can’t make any modifications yourself…”
So what do you think about that?

It is unfortunate, but I believe that borrowing code will always be part of any coders protocol. I think that if we see code we made borrowed, (or stolen) then be greatful that what you have done is worth something that others want. There is no greater compliment then someone using what you created.
@Dave Jansen, The sample (shown here) has the exact same buttons, gradient and motion as my FREE PageFlip. That’s an extremely unlikely coincidence. The sample code you provided doesn’t seem to relate to the actual Page Flipping effect. Maybe they just translated my code to Spanish and added a function or two. Did you ever get the FLA file to produce a SWF? If so, did it look like the sample?
