Amiga Inc Closes Down Another Pirate BBS : Comment 6 of 48ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 5 (David Shipman):
Yes that's a controversial subject. In the Amiga market it is a 100% *NO*. Piracy of current software has an enormous impact. In the current Wintel market piracy helps sustain the duopoly(actually triopoly with current AMD) of the X86/Windows platform.
Also there is an even more controversial subject of early Microsoft turning a blind eye to the pirating of the DOS/Windows OS itself to help establish a larger userbase by any means, which seems to have worked wonders considering Bill Gates is the richest man in the world.. However considering the state of the Amiga platform, such a conversation is moot... Amiga related companies need every penny possible from every user just to be able to justify it's existance.
In closing IMO OS3.9 and Payback are underappreciated, buy it if you havn't yet. Just my personal opinion dudes, don't flame that.
