@fats:
Yes, the piracy thing always seemed like a pretty flimsy excuse, the real reason was always likely to have been something else.
Not flimsy at all. Imagine you have poured your time, effort, sweat, and whatever else into a huge comprehensive project. For people in the Amiga community, even when it was a developed platform, whether viable for long-term commercial success or not -- everything we do is a labor of love.
Then to see that love spread around without any recompense for all your efforts. Yeah, it is a perfectly valid reason. On that has been hashed and re-hashed here numerous times and not really worth visiting again.
I was fortunate enough to grab an English copy from eBay a while ago. I would gladly put up for a newer edition.
