Hi!

I wont agree with that. At least in Germany the Piracy for AMIGA is
as big as for the C64 in it's best times. And the piracy is the reason,
why both machines have Germany as the best market in the world.
You can get EVERYTHING. But I don't think that this will be a reason
for Softwarehouses going bankrupt. 
Those kids who are pirating like mad, would never buy an original 
product, even if they would not be able to get a copy of it.
And those who might buy are a minority. So piracy is a big deal for
CA, since they are selling their machines better with free software
aviable.
