Piracy (was Net Piracy)

[c9422948@alinga.newcastle.edu.au (Quantum)]

Who was gonna read 24 articles to get to this one.....

Ask yourself how much intrest there is in OLD Apple II software 
nowdays.  If you had the license to Raster Blaster, Drol, Wavy Navy, 
Ultima I-IV, etc, etc would you bother publishing them and selling them 
at commersial prices.  I know I wouldn't.

Now before you jump up and down, scream and shout etc, I'm not saying 
that it is right to pirate this old software.  (All you people who have 
had ANY pirated software, raise your hands and leave 'em there).  
I'm now expecting absolutely no replies (but it still ain't right is it).

Wake up and smell the grass fella's,  I can't see any software companies 
seriously taking on distribution of OUT-OF-DATE software as long as 
credit is given where credit is due. (I may be wrong, I'de like to hear 
first hand from a software publisher on this)

These are only my personal opinions (of course), and I know that if I had 
software that was not selling, I'de gladly give it away, as long as I was 
credited for it.
