"Original"/OSS/Current:
Office/OpenOffice/Google Docs
WinZip/7-zip/Whatever archive utility is bundled with your OS
Windows Media Player/VLC/Online Streaming
Netscape/Firefox/Chrome
In all but a few of the other cases (e.g. OBS), the original hasn't lost an ounce of market share to the "alternative".
I guess what I'm saying is the data seems to show that the threat to paid software isn't OSS alternatives, it's commercial competition.
