The act of buying software is a bit misleading. As Marktime said we only buy a license to use it, and normally that is only on a single machine. Enthasised by the use of HW or SW dongle.
My mother thought that was rediclulous until I said that when we enter an exhibition you only buy the right to look at the exhibits, we don't own them.
I wonder if it would really be ok if I bought a copy of OS4 and used it on an iMac. I doubt it because why would they build a dongle into the Amiga system?
I remember having a CBM 64 when I first heard the goldie "it only costs a few pence for them to copy and they sell the game for so much". It's a suprise people still think like that.
Now I am wondering how many unlicensed copies of old Amiga stuff there is, and we wonder why there are so little new stuff being developed.
