If he was talking about pirating things and not buying them, then you might have a point, but in the example he gave of Robocop3D not working, he had purchased the software.
I bought Robocop 3 aswell.
When I got it home, the hardware dongle would not fit in the joystick ports of my A600, as it had obviously been designed specifically for the A500. The shop wouldnt give me a refund, so I wrote to Ocean and they sent me back a cracked copy of the game. :-)
