EO> Of course, you can’t take bread from the numerous authors of programs for ZX,

Pirated replication of programs is very bad, what you want to do is
not much worse, but not better, and as I see you noticed this yourself.

EO> In addition, demo versions on disks that go to other cities are good

Will you constantly update the disk with the advent of new demo versions? Nonsense.

EO> And true spektrumists do not have to sit on live ZX.
EO> Why occupy a table (room, apartment) with a bunch of computers, if there is

Find out from the authors of the software how many disks virtuals buy!

EO> And about the fact that the owners of the above-described computers are rich people, I must

Are there many spektrumists with such a config? Imho, 5%, no more.

What life, in your dreams? Welcome to the harsh reality!

EO> I have the FULL RIGHT to conclude that among spektrumists, in addition to

I was talking about ordinary people, and not about maniacs like us. :-))))

EO> Of course, I can’t be called a Spectrum fan, but what is definitely better is

^^^^ !

don’t you think that discussing this topic is pointless?
if you respect the authors (like me, for example ;) then accordingly
you won’t buy broken software. but it is useless to prove something,
it will not bring any benefit, whoever bought the cracks will continue to do so. soviet thinking Mlyn...
