It's easy for the "consumers" among the Amiga users to request updates of protected software and then leave the developers alone with the risks of a copyright violation.  |
The vultures I was referring to are those who ENFORCE the copyright/whatever law (of ancient software), not those that just express their concern about it. So PeterK don't understand me wrong
