What is more immoral: being expected to (gasp!) pay for your software/hardware, or being expected to develop it and have it copied on the net for nothing?

My view - there is nothing immoral about expecting people to pay for software and hardware you have worked long and hard to create, and probably invested in financially yourself.

I understand your point of view, that it seems a little wrong that hardware/software vendors charge so much because they know Amiga users are emotionally attached to the platform and thus will be prepared to pay their high prices. Almost like they are trying to take advantage. (not my opinion by the way, but some people's)

But unfortunately we are now a niche market, which means prices will be high. Those who have made the decision to stay with the Amiga have to accept the high price of equipment.
