Be more specific.  In the scenario we are talking about, the shareware
disk vendor offers unregistered DOOM on disks for $12.  Some fool buys
it.  What false belief does the fool now have?  Unless you want to
argue that selling shareware disks should be outlawed altogether, you
have to say that the fool hasn't been mislead if he is charged $4.

   I believe rack vendors now have to clearly
   state what is and is not shareware, and that an additional fee is
   required by the author for registration of the product.

I've seen little stickers with these words.  I think we should suppose
that the $12 unregistered DOOM disks have these words on them,
otherwise the issue would be simpler and the $12 would not be
relevant.
