Piracy on the Amiga will never be as big as it was on the 8-bit machines for
ONE BIG reason: The public domain software is SO much better, and there's
SO much more of it than for the 8-bits. Also, there aren't eighty million
fledgling software developers trying to make a fast buck off of this
year's Castle Wolfenstein clone or whatever. For that reason, I own
very little commercial software on the Amiga, pirated or otherwise. When
you can get the same thing for free (or a lot cheaper, through Shareware,
than you'd expect at a software house) it seems kind of pointless to get
bogged down in the old Commodore game of Tradin' Warez<-<-<-<-<-.
