You are wrapping two things together here.

I can care less about Nathan's rants of pirating 20 year old software
for the Apple II+.  That hurts nobody.

LJSILICON's comments are different.  He is proclaiming that there
is no market in orphaned computers and seems to want all new
software and hardware development dead.  That's wrong, as the
Commodore world shows us.  There still CAN be new hardware and
software commercially produced and if we all stop complaining,
there will be more.  And when these new software is release, I don't
care what people think about the 20 year old stuff, but pirating the
NEW stuff DEFINITELY hurts development.

See what happens to the Commodore GEOS update if everyone
starts pirating GeoFAX and saying it is alright.  I'll bet the upcoming
GEOS update will die as quickly as I can snap my fingers...
