Amiga Inc Closes Down Another Pirate BBS : Comment 25 of 48 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Prefer not to on 17-Apr-2001 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 10 (Hans-Joerg Frieden): 90% of the Amiga warez people i know, are trading games like Mr. Nutz and F1GP, or Assasins, and LSD disks.
I've run two pieces of pirate shareware, because on both occasions the author didn't reply to my emails about registering.
I wonder how much 'warez' happening here is trading of 'abandonware' stuff, and how much is trading of current, new releases.
BTW, I bought an Amiga because all my friends had one, and we'd trade games.
Without the availabilty of free games in my A500. I'd never have bought an A1200, and wouldn't have spent hundreds, probably thousands of pounds support the machine and the authors of the software I use.
I'm not justifying warez, in a market like ours every sale counts. Just get off the backs of the people trading abandonware stuff. |
