How much pirated Amiga software did you have?

[Karlos]

Very little, to be honest. I tried a few games and applications that I invariably got from other people. Anything I liked I bought (after all, manuals etc are nice to have), anything I didn't I just formatted over and reused the disks.

I was also quite into PD stuff at the time. One of my local computer shops used to stock Fred Fish and many other good collections of free/shareware.

Following your logic, my local pizza shop should sue me for making my own pizza at home?

I don't think that's the right analogy to copying software. The analogy above applies to the example of creating your own software at home, rather than using a copy of software created by somebody else.

At least these days, free software is sufficiently evolved that you can pretty much do anything you need to without spending a penny on software if for whatever reason you feel aggrieved in doing so. The only real exception to that is gaming, and frankly, I don't really mind paying for that. After all, it's a luxury rather than a necessity.

Prrrrpft! An entirely different sort of "bum rap", eh?
