So I was making a logo for my site and decided to search fonts.com. Then I noticed their pricing... anywhere from $25 to $100+ for a single font.
Granted that font making is a fairly time consuming process, the pricing of some of the fancier looking fonts can be remotely justified.
But what really gets me is that the $100 fonts are along the lines of Times New Roman and Arial! Do they honestly think people will buy this stuff? It's like selling ice to eskimos.
Even at that, if people pirate the fancy designer fonts, who's going to notice or come after you?
