Actually piracy was a lot more complicated than that. Nowadays you just go to GOG, ubisoft, steam etc. and buy your original. 20 years ago you just went to shopping center with video games corner and it was fairly easy to buy originals as well. 30 years ago in many places all you could do to get some games was either postal service thanks to amiga (or other computers) magazines (so instead of online ordering either by post of telephone), buying at some trading events and expositions (which actually propagated illegal copies) and then exchanging games with friends (with making some copies for yourself as well). It isn't like all amiga market was piracy but in my opinion the situation was much worse then than now. Despite all those warez sites, torrents etc. It's so much easier to just get legitimate copy nowadays with decent service.
