| Amiga Inc Closes Down Another Pirate BBS : Comment 46 of 48 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by DanDude on 23-Apr-2001 22:00 GMT | PIRACY KILLS!!!! There, I said it.
I don't believe for even one minute that piracy helped sell a lot of Amigas. What I do belive is this:
o Commodore-Amiga management in the early 1990's failed to allow better Amigas to be released
o Lack of advertising
o (correct me if I'm wrong) lack of enforcement on copyrighted software
It may have helped sell a lot of software when Amigas came out but later the software developers realize what kind of battle they're dealing with. And if they can't win, they simply go somewhere else. This is not a joke, IT IS REAL! Look at us arguing back and forth....Aren't you just one bit ashamed of owning illegally distributed software? Look at the programmers....do you want them to continue developing software for us or do you want them to go somewhere else??
I can't just put my foot down and say, "This piracy has to stop here and now!" because nobody would listen to me. Would they? I don't like this one damn piracy. I ---BUY--- stuff. In a way, I'm telling them "yeah! I like your software, make some more!" I shook my head when I found out that O.S. 3.5 was cracked a few days later it was released. It may be victory to those who do not want to pay but others telling this can't be happening. The future is dependent on keeping the dream alive. Thank you crackers for making our dream come true--going down the drain. >:( |
