thecrow: thats exactly how I feel.

AndreasM: your situation is different.. you're still developing software and selling it now so thats different.

AndreasM: i'm not saying what you're donig is bad for YOUR software that YOU are selling.  But if its old software that isnt being sold currently because of its age I dont care if its copied or not.  What people do on their own time is their business.

hmm, from wher you know how many copies from our softare we sell?


Did I say I knew how many copies?  No offense but the software you have is of no use to me.

  I have not bought any classic Amiga software in *years* (but I've been *given* alot of software, originals and copies).  Hardware, thats a different story.. On the Amiga I'd rather just play old games and collect old hardware (but I prefer C=64,128,vic 20 though).

Now if Genesi and MorphOS would get their A$$ in gear maybe then I'd buy something.  I'm tellin ya.. that Peg running Debian is sexy. :-o :-o :-o

people stopped buying software because there is only so much you can do with the current 'classic Amiga'.  Its obsolete.  Replacement parts will be harder to aquire at decent prices.  The only people hanging on to their classics are the true die-hards.

Whats here and now is the A1 and the Pegasos.  If software developers want to make money they should develop software for those systems, not a has-been 20yr old system* (or however old your classic is).  (as rough as that sounds, its the truth).
