Sorry to disappoint you, but I hardly think that "poor" sales of WP can
be at all atributed to piracy.  WP is a product that is practically unusable
without a manual.  Moreover, WP was totally unusable when run on an Amiga 500.
This was one of the main blunders that made WP not sell well in Europe where
most machines are Amiga 500s.
