一个有趣的软件分发问题
我有一个问题，我相信你们中的一些人有兴趣在这里讨论。事情是这样的：
我和几个朋友一直在开发一个小型 Windows 应用程序，这可能正是利基市场想要的。我们正处于发布 1.0 的最后阶段。
我们一直在考虑分发安排，并提出了两个基本要求：
a) 我们不热衷于购买支付网关。我们正在寻找一个合适的网站，我们可以在其中展示我们的产品信息，并可以负责销售和分销 - 包括付款安排并稍后向我们支付我们的份额。类似于 Windows 应用程序的 Apple 应用商店。
b) 我们不想将我们的功能二进制文件的副本传递到此分发站点。相反，我们希望仅在我们的站点上托管二进制文件，并将其提供给已通过分发站点身份验证的客户。 （我们对在第 3 方网站上托管二进制文件有点偏执 - 不幸的是，这是一个不可变的标准。）
有人知道有一个分发网站可以通过 a) 和 b) 吗？
I have a problem which I am sure some of you would be interested to discuss here. Here goes:
I and a couple of friends have been working on a small Windows Application which may be exactly what a niche market wants. We are in the final stages of releasing 1.0
We have been thinking of distribution arrangements and we have come up with two essential requirements:
a) We are not keen on buying a payment gateway. We were looking for a suitable website where we can present our product information and which can take care of sales and distribution - including payment arrangements and pay us our share later. Something like the Apple App store for Windows Applications.
b) We do not want to deliver a copy of our functional binaries to this distribution site. Instead, we want to host the binaries on our site only and serve them to customers who have been authenticated by the distribution site. (We are a little paranoid about hosting the binaries on a 3rd party site - this unfortunately is an immutable criterion.)
Does anybody know of a distribution site which would pass a) as well as b) ?

RegNow 又名 Digital River 满足您的两个条件。然而，他们有点过度宣传自己，所以你可能不会从他们千篇一律的共享软件网站网络中赚到改变生活的钱。
顺便说一句，没有人会为你销售你的软件，特别是如果它是针对一个狭窄的利基市场，所以你最好使用像 PayPal 这样的东西，它只占总销售价格的一小部分。 RegNow 收取的比例要高得多，据说是为了回报他们的营销服务，但无论如何，您的大部分销售额可能都来自您自己的营销努力。
RegNow a.k.a. Digital River meets both of your criteria. However, they somewhat over-hype themselves, so you will probably not make life-changing amounts of money from their network of cookie-cutter shareware sites.
By the way, nobody is going to sell your software for you, especially if it's for a narrow niche market, so you're better off using something like PayPal which takes only a small percentage of the overall sale price. RegNow takes a much higher percentage, supposedly in return for their marketing services, but most of your sales will probably come from your own marketing efforts anyway.
为什么您认为二进制文件在您的客户手中会更安全？
在我看来，您最好运行自己的下载服务器，在那里您将自己接受付款。 PayPal 或 GoogleCheckout 可能是一个开始。如果您注册了一家公司，您就可以与一些信用卡处理公司签约来为您处理付款。
目前我还没有看到您期望从第三方分发网站获得什么好处。接触潜在客户的方式？
Why do you think the binaries will be safer in your clients hands?
It seems to me you are better off running your own download server where your will be accepting payments yourself. PayPal or GoogleCheckout may be a start. if you register a company, you can then sign up with some credit card processing company to handle payments for you.
Right now I'm not seeing what benefits you expect from the third party distribution site. A way to get to potential customers?
计算机就是用来复制软件的。一旦你让随机的人从你的网站下载它，精灵就已经从瓶子里出来了。停止担忧并学会热爱炸弹。
我不是专有软件的粉丝，但如果我以某种方式发现自己处于您的立场并具有您的价值观，我会这样做：
Computers are all about making copies of software. Once you let random people download it from your website, the genie is already out of the bottle. Quit worrying and learn to love The Bomb.
I'm not a proprietary software fan, but if I somehow found myself in your shoes with your values here's what I'd do:
