First official snapshot of AmiGift (KaZaa client for AmigaOS) : Comment 43 of 45 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 25-Oct-2003 13:44 GMT | All those people desperately arguing about piracy, killing the amiga, cancer and whatever, its always the same. Some of you overheard the shot, years ago.
-there is hardly any market anymore
-most software isnt available anymore or just outdated by several years
-piracy is what made the amiga known and great once
-same goes for the C64
-same goes for the PC on the games part
-piracy wasnt the main reason that killed the amiga, bullshit, it was mismanagement on commodores part, no ergonomic monitors, no office apps, so windows took that place in a rush 1989-1993, no proper modular design for graphics cards, sound, IO, something like (Zorro4,5,6), aging processors,
less and less bang for the buck, software- and hardwarewise
-search at emule and you find nothing but roms and games that you cant buy anymore or that are so old you dont see a reason to pay for
-ridiculous, its like demanding you had to pay for atari console games, or c64 games, an era thats long gone
-the PC has been the main gaming and app machine for years now, and surprise, in spite of heavy copying its still alive. Dont say "they go console", no, guess why they do, developing for consoles is easier, faster, cheaper than for PC with thousands of possible consigurations and setups
-piracy is sort of natural, if we were all rich, we all would pay for anything
-making a copy doesnt mean instead an original would have been purchased, thats a stupid lie
-computers create need and demand for bytes, and new bytes, and more of that than anyone can afford
YES, I surely vote for nothing but piracy on this planet hereby. It cant mean anything else. So go on and rant and shout and cough and finally hopefully die from your own narrowmindedness, thank you. |
