Fish disks - which were anywhere from one to ten programs, depending - were a buck ninety-nine. And they still got pirated.
the Fred Disk disks were public domain, you were allowed to copy them as you liked and share.
The price that PD libraries charged was just meant to cover the cost of the floppy disk and the postage, that said, many used to add money on too, but copying Fish Disks was not piracy, it was encouraged.
