Amiga Inc Closes Down Another Pirate BBS : Comment 10 of 48 | ANN.lu |

No it isn't. Software piracy is theft. There is no gray zone. As a software developer I don't care at all if someone buys another system because the warez scene suck. Especially in the current situation, Piracy is the most idiotic thing. They also don't bring cash into the market because they do severe damage.
Those people can use windows. They are not a share of the market gone because they have never been part of the market. A platform like the Amiga simply cannot afford piracy.
Worse still, companies start to abandon the *Windows* market because of piracy and go over to consoles. I don't see *any* positive point in piracy at all. The console market isn't attractive because of piracy, but because of sold units.
Regards, Hans-Joerg. |
