- Software piracy is bad, and it possibly can kill a platform (or make it
- smaller anyway), but, I dare question... where platforms like MS boxes
- or Amiga's as big as they are now (Jaja, Amiga is relatively small)
- when software piracy did not exist??
- I know this is a strange thing to say, but I feel it is that way. How
- many people do you know that bought MS-Windows (whichever version)
- compared to the numer of people that copied it? How about programs
- and games.
-
- Once more, I'm not at all 'promoting' piracy! I plan to sell software
- myself. But I wouldn't dare saying that Commodore would have survived
- or that making a living from making/selling software would have been
- easier if piracy did not exist.
