- Consider this...
-
- I own an Amiga, I have seen very little pirated software for it.
-
- I have used pc's, and seen huge amounts of pirated/cracked and basically
- unpaid for software, not just on a 'Here have a copy of this' basis, but in
- companies who just don't bother to get proper site licences.
-
- Now tell me that pirates had any part in killing the Amiga, properly
- motivated they could have been a serious asset, as they seem to be the best
- at getting s/ware to run from hd's that the original coder couldn't manage.
