Amazing!  Assuming Dr. Tom is evil incarnate, and he's guilty of everything
charged, it's astounding to think that one pirate could drive any developer
out of the A2 market. Perhaps Dr. Tom was a good excuse to abandon an
imploding market.  Did he drive the Beagle Brothers and (name your extinct
A2 programmer) out of business, too? Or did they feel the need to write
software that someone would buy?
