- Every developer that releases commercial software of the Amiga
- should release functional demo releases of the software on Aminet.
-
- I think this would do a lot of good as many people hunts down illegal
- copies of software to try them out. If they could get demos easily
- from Aminet they may be more willing to buy the full versions of the software.
-
- My impression of piracy is that a lot of people use the copies to
- evaluate the software and then finds that it doesn't do what they
- want.
