Cloanto not shipping Amiga Forever stuff?

[Boudicca]

All  you "cough" software thieves helped kill the Amiga market for software long ago.I,for one, would rather not be known for how much of others' work I have stolen.You?

Simply Tosh....The Amiga market was killed by Intel and Windows and Mac. Piracy had Zero to do with it. As piracy doesn't make a dent in M$ bottom line. Nor Piracy in any field of media except vertical market products where its often protected by crazy licence costs and support contracts. Piracy made the PlayStation and it has also made the XBox360. Every computer fair there is several chipping stalls.

If anything what really killed the Amiga was greedy shareholders and bad marketing and crazy wasteful product development and not outsourcing to the far east their manufacturing.

So you don't think the fact software was stolen to such an extent the software companies didn't make anything MIGHT affect their producing NEW programs for the Amiga that would convince even more people to buy Amigas is relevant?.

Nope. It doesn't, it didn't and many profited from the *Buzz* of future sales, the rest went to the wall and would have done anyway.

And if you haven't the money to buy something ,it doesn't matter if you are 13 or 30,it is still stealing!

Your not wrong ! but your point ? i.e Stealing from computer companies is wrong, but it doesn't make them go bust, that requires a balance sheet and bad management.
