What's
good about the Linspire Phlippines RAVE System?
IT
PROTECTS YOU. Customers can check Authenticity even before
the point of purchase. It protects you, the consumer, from illegal
duplicates that cannot give you access to the full benefits of
your purchase.
IT
FOSTERS GOOD RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CUSTOMERS AND RESELLERS. Its
good for our partners - Distributors and Resellers alike - as
regardless of their size, they can sell to Customers with confidence,
and the Customer can buy with confidence.
IT
IS CONVENIENT AND ACCESSIBLE EVERYWHERE. Registration is via the
RAVE System too. No need to logon to register to get your License.
An INFOTEXT / SMS based system is more accessible to more people
and can be done anywhere. This is ideal for the situation in the
Philippines where mobile phones exceed the number of Internet
points of access.
IT'S
SECURE.
The RAVE System CANNOT be hacked. Unlike web-based system that
can be compromised, RAVE simply cannot be breached. That means
your information is secure. It runs on a closed, proprietory system.
Our
Position on Piracy
We
believe in the protection of Intellectual Property, as provided
for by Republic Act 8293, also known as Intellectual Property
Law of 1997.
We
are aware of the high level of piracy in the Philippines. There
are software companies & organizations (and we don't have
to say who!) who believe that the only way to rectify the situation
is to intensify the threat against all Filipinos - blindly labelling
all as thieves and pirates, and threathening all with raids, fines,
and jail terms.
We
at Linspire believe instead that a vast majority of Filipinos
are honorable. We believe that given a sensibly priced
alternative, the Filipino will support buying licensed software
in the same way that the movie industry has sensibly lowered the
prices of legal VCDs.
We
understand the impracticality of forcing people from a weaker
economy to pay the same price as people who live in the Western
world.
Please
support the initiative of Linspire Philippines, and the spirit
behind the Business Software Developers and Users Alliance
(BSuA).
