And I believe there are also many more cases out there similar to Mine and Sam's issues with dealing with the Kenyan Entrepreneur and their efforts to go IT <for free!!!>...


And it is for this reason that I advocate we <starting from skunkworks> have to change and come up with new business rulings when dealing with clients - just like in the US Silicon valley- nothing is done without the good faith of patents and contracts.

I know many start-ups are willing to submit to the terms of the client - but what if all Kenyan IT community decided "no commitment, no work" ? 

I believe with such a motto spread across the IT community, the Kenyan Entrepreneur will be forced to change, and if not - they are welcome to seek avenues of downloading what they want for free <goodluck with that !!!> or buying it for big bucks from the western world <at least they will have paid for it>...

This would avoid making programmers spend a lot of wasted time coding  and also earn respect -

This will avoid situations of their IT nephews downloading a cracked demo of the same software from the internet, a few weeks to completion of your 8 month job !

 - Because, if the Entrepreneur felt they wanted to download it or they can get the service for free, they should not have approached you in the first place to do the job !!!
