Giveaway of the Day
Giveaway of the Day (Abbreviated GAOTD on the website) is a website that gives away a piece of licensed PC (Windows) software for free every day. The site was launched on 24th October 2006. The site allows software developers to post their software to be given away on a specific day. Software can only be downloaded on this specific day because of included protection software that checks the website and activates it on the day of the giveaway.
The site now runs in several different languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, and Russian.

User Criticism
There have been a lot of criticism lately, mostly AbOUT giving away screensavers, other simple programs, which are widely available as freeware or even open source. Lately, the games and software have been receiving poor user ratings because of their low quality, simplicity, bundling with adware, or otherwise.

On the 8th December 2006 a new site was launched, Game Giveaway of the Day, which gives away games each day.
