Well they may no lr be developing but the products are for sale.
The copyright lstill protect the rights of those that develop
software, even if they are not active in the market. Aside from that
I object to the word pirate, call it like it is
"is it okay to steal Axiom and ASDG software?" It's not a moral
issue it is a legal issue. If ASDG, Axiom wanted to give their stuff
away they would have done it.
Sorry to get on the soapbox but I have been here since the 1000 days
and software theft has hurt manydeveloper. I think it is wider in
the dos market but the Amiga Market being smaller is more adversly
effected. Now with the plight of the Amiga we can't blame some for
leaving, but I'd like to think if the Market comes back so will the
developers.
"is it okay to steal Axiom and ASDG software?" will go a long way to
Encourage them I'm sure.
BTW I felt pretty bad that ASDG dumped the market that made them.
I thought they could have at least done maintaince. I was told
that elastic reality uses the morph routines.
