Amiga Inc Closes Down Another Pirate BBS : Comment 11 of 48 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Michael Jantzen on 16-Apr-2001 22:00 GMT | In defense of warez on the Amiga (and I really don't know anything about this web-site... I guess it just had OS disks and stuff) - a lot of software just isn't availble anymore. For instance I needed a disk for an old A1000 the other year (those things DO go bad after about 13 years or so) - so I posted a message to a usenet group to get KS 1.3 replacement disk... I've never been so flamed in my entire existance on the net (ironically I got the disk anyhow - from someone that was thinking!). You tell me Amiga Inc where I'm supposed to get KS 1.3 disks?
Same thing happened with Movie-shop (a Macrosystem program for the Vlab motion). I ended up getting rid of the thing because I could never buy or get copies of movie-shop. Same with the tocatta board that went with it.
Same thing happaned when I was looking for a replacement disk for ADPro. Please tell me what defunct developer I'm hurting by getting a replacement disk - better yet if I pirate the whole thing?
How many of you have a zillion and one C64 disks for emulators? Or the same number of roms for a snes/nes emulator? Even though all those programs are obsolete, and you can't buy them anymore... |
