CHW and hackers(2Alex)

My friend, I have almost lived my life, in April I will turn 38! :)
And in the “subtleties of money issues” I am oh so experienced (my programs and my work
have been stolen for 15 years now ;)) I have no illusions about WHICH country I
live in. So, since the people here are mostly young, NOT yet corrupted by this abomination called LIFE IN RUSSIA,
I would like to create a “state that is not on the map” - SPECTRUMLAND,
with its HONEST laws and with its KNIGHT CODE OF HONOR (I threw a CHARTER here
yesterday, I myself don’t see it, but as I understand it, this is the peculiarity of the work of my news server)
Be sure that if I offered you (purely theoretically) a fully working
version of an expensive (or even not so expensive) program for 1/100 of its price, you would not
give it up.
And my parents taught me as a child that taking someone else’s things is a SIN, and you?
I didn’t take anything else’s in this life, I’m ready even for the Bible swear
(no, only once in my life, in childhood, I stole a beautiful stamp from a friend, but
my mother made me take it back and repent, I was so ashamed that for the rest of my life...)
TruthI didn’t even give my own to anyone before, when they stole something from me, I got upset,
especially when it was women :)
Well, now I know for sure what the worst thing about theft is: it is that it CRIMES
SOULS, people CANNOT LIVE IN AN UNFAIR WORLD while remaining human,
and I personally don’t want to become brutalized!
> Allow me a couple of purely rhetorical questions:
>- Is your copy of Windows 95 licensed?
Not installed on me, AT ALL :)!
>- In general, what percentage of the programs installed on your computer are
>licensed?
Most of the programs installed on my computer are FRIVARE and SHAROVARnye,
generally 60% of it is occupied by programs for Spectrum emulators! :)
>Answer _yourself_ to them and reduce your ardor.
As you can see, even after answering them, your ardor does not diminish.;)
Now let me explain to you, if you don’t understand, that we are talking about
different things here.
Do you know, stealing a piece of bread from a hungry man and a carload of sausages from a snickering huckster are two different things!
If you personally want to steal from Gates, I can’t stop you, I personally don’t need anything from this ghoul who has ruined Russia and is sucking the juices from the population of the entire Sharik! Let him shove his software for himself, you know where!
My friends, Spectrumists, will write software for us no worse than Gates!
If you don’t believe in this, then what are you even doing onSpectrum?

>P.S. I didn’t get any use out of my Speccy programs, although I could have. In general, I
>believe that the ZX-Spectrum can only be a hobby, but not a means of earning money.
I have a slightly different position here, I want our authors to be able to earn money HERE and
NOW, but given the current state of affairs, this, alas, is impossible.:(
So we have to work tirelessly to reverse this situation!
And I myself don’t expect any material benefits from Spectrum... that’s enough for me what he gives me! If there are any, I will again
invest most of my acquisitions in the Spectrum :)
That’s all I wanted to tell you.
Sorry if my last letter hurt you more than it should have, but
understand: with your letter you hit not so much for Glory, but for all of us,
because. Without Glory, Spectrum will have no glory now! (Sorry, for the pun)
And enough of the pussies and Amishniks to stare at our people, damn it, and so
how many of our brains are plowing into these platforms, how much of our blood they have drunk,
have a conscience!
But here’s a lesson to everyone who wants to blame the piss and the Amiga: then they will poke you in the face, but licensed software from $300 to $2000 you have too little
opportunity to gain when the “powers that be” buy your labor at
cheap, for 1/8 of the cost of exactly the same (in no way better) labor
onWest!!!
That's it, I've already tired everyone :)

Hence, apparently, this position - well, even if you are a hacker, it’s unpleasant if
someone is using you...

AS> My position here is somewhat different, I want our authors to be able
AS> HERE and
AS> NOW to earn money,

Unfortunately, it’s getting more and more difficult. And the point here is not the presence of hackers, but
the absence of authors.

AS> With that letter you hit not so much at Slava as at all of us,

I think DR is on the way with their projects (which deserve to be called
grand). The number of magazines/newspapers is growing :)
And I do not refuse to develop the idea of ​​ChV1 (even in the worst case scenario). But
to keep up with progress (even on the Spectrum), more and more time is required to develop software, and the return is less and less :(

AS> That's it, I've already tired everyone :)

Thanx for the support!

With warm greetings, Slava!
