I'd like to hijack this post and point out couple of good topics I've found on querying the rights of demo users -
Discussion on
Separate subforum for demo users - HEREDiscussion on
Licensed and Demo users -
HERE
Maybe its because I'm seeing less licensed users on the forums and more and more demo users asking for additional content for free (especially as the things they already to have have in the way of cars and tracks are not available to demo'ers) that I'm beginning to feel that unless a demo user has a query on anything more than how to solve any problems they're having (running the game, getting better/faster, how to set up a car, or setting up a demo server, maybe nothing more than their views on the game?) then I/we should just stop giving them help of any kind.
I understand that not everyone has money to get license (in my current circumstances, I couldn't afford to buy one just now), but these demo users asking for extras are likely to have their own computer system (as against using a public system as provided in a library, club, etc), and as some of them are running servers, they must have half decent computers and be paying for internet bandwidth. So, for these users, I don't see that they shouldn't have enough pocket money to buy a S1 or S2 license.
I don't know if it's just me, but I wouldn't expect to download a free demo of anything (game, app, whatever), then have the right to ask for anything from their community except help in getting it working - I especially wouldn't expect to be able to ask that community to provide me with help and freebies on the full experience they've actually had to pay for.
