And that means acting like the C64 groups and not tolerating the
pirates and thieves out to destroy the remaining vendors, programmers,
etc. They focus solely on the past, and sacrifice any future. Get rid
of them, or fewer and fewer programmers will *want* to work with such
a platform. Those pirates are a cancer out to kill the system, so they
must be removed-- sure it's not a pleasant experience taking them on,
but they're out to kill the system and you've got to fight for its life.
You can have new software. Or you can have piracy. Don't ever count
on having both at the same time.
