Everybody wants free software downloads

The 3 partners stayed busy. They were giving away free software downloads, but they had employees and web site expenses to pay. So they kept looking for new investors in their company and kept upgrading and improving the free software.

As more people kept using it, more people wanted their friends and relatives online to use it, and so more people kept downloading this free software. It is a unique product in that way. The more people who had it, the more people they wanted to have it, so they could use it all the more. It is useless by itself. To get any benefit from the free software, you need to know other people that have it. If you didn’t, you told your friends and relatives yourself.

Three years later this became so popular that America Online noticed this free software downloads

They realized that this was now reaching literally millions of Internet users.

To the software creators and their employees, the Internet users were users. To America Online, they were a marketplace.

America Online knows what to do with marketplaces, right? You sell products to them. Or you sell space to advertisers who want to sell products to them.

Nothing is truly free in this world, not even free software downloads

This free software downloads had spread throughout the world, but although the end users did not pay for it, the investors did. Investors who would someday want a return on their money.

Not to mention the three owners who invented it, who wanted to be rich.

So when America Online came knocking, they negotiated. They found out that their free software was worth about $250,000,000. America Online obviously expected a lot of advertisers to pay a lot of money to sell products and services to ICQ users.

After paying off their investors, each of the three partners had $67,000,000 left to put in their pocket -- all through free software downloads.
