Destruction of piracy as a class (2Andy Harchenko)

^^^^^^^^^this is the key to the solution
>Build camps and burn? Or force them to release something new and distribute it free of charge throughout the country?
Create conditions under which it is more profitable to “produce” your own programs, rather than
stealing others!
>
> AS> The bourgeois software is over! And either the pirates are now getting fatter than ever
For some reason, after ChV, I haven’t seen any bourgeois or our worthwhile software, so
>the pirates are fasting right now ;)
People save everything for a certain time, do you think someone wants
to be in the shadow of Chv? ;) And besides, many authors are now simply “in shock”. If they “broke off” Vyacheslav, a revered and respected author by all, in this way, then who will
consider us, lesser-known and completely unknown authors!
But nothing! We'll figure something out. Something simpler, but also better than
camps, we are INTELLECTUALS ;) And especially since no one takes us seriously,
it only benefits us.

> AS> either we destroy them, orthe Spectrum will bend :(
>I have a Spectrum in a minitower, try to bend it :)
Hardware...oh I won’t, hard makers will be offended...and I don’t want to offend them,
because I know myself how difficult it is to make cool hardware.
Well, in general, anyway, the hardware is not the main thing.

>So these are the same cockroaches, you poison them in one apartment, and they crawl into another
Well, you have no comparison... I don’t respect all talents... A great hacker is needed
any author, but it’s better to let him collaborate with authors and
civilized traders and let all groups and regions learn to respect
each other and cooperate, because we have a common home - the Spectrum.
And so, if these interregional frictions continue, then nothing good
will come of it.
Look at the style that has gone into it: money, showdowns, everyone is building up
God knows what.
Stop it, guys, with this tramp! It’s sickening, it’s not at the market!
Learn to respect each other and cooperate like civilized people - I’ll say it 100 times
because there is no other way!

> AS> The first question: how

>Cut off the possibility of selling stolen software :)
>1) Supply traders with beer sandwiches and proprietary programs faster than
>pirates do. Those. to establish contact with traders of all major cities and when
the release of the author's product they could receive it as quickly as possible.
So for this, traders should be more united, at least know each other,
know where there are spektrumists, otherwise we are guessing and estimating, and you are in your mouth
as if you had filled your mouth with water. I understand that it’s a trade secret and so on.
But let there be at least someone about whom we know that his word is listened to
ALL TRADERS and there will be order in the markets! Otherwise, everywhere “God’s gift is mixed with scrambled eggs”, everywhere
some kind of partisan detachments - a tavern in one word.

>2) Complicate defenses to delay time, so that legal traders have time to
distribute the author’s version before a broken line appears.
Shield and sword? Firstly, this alone is holding back the spread of software, creative forces on the Spectrum and so little, and even a headache, how to give the product the appearance of an “impregnable fortress”. Yes, since software for Spectrum
for $2,000-3,000 is now protected, even software worth $10,000-50,000 is not protected
Isn’t this absurd?
So keep it with your “merchant guild”a team of the best hackers in the CIS,
who would install the protections that pirates would not be able to break during the time during which
you would be able to return the royalties paid to the authors + earn money yourself.
But I repeat once again for $100-200, none of the authors
will do anything commercial.
There is no market, eh, Evgeniy Milun is 100 times right here!

>And what about simple Spectrum users who have a Spectrum 128 with a disk drive often get into BBSes???
Well, I’ll ask another question: how many people know what someone wants?bring order and make sure that everyone on the Spectrum lives better and more peacefully?
Damn it, am I the only one who needs this?
Stop thinking only about your own money!
Finally think about the common good!!!

> AS> Just let someone responsibly say: “Don’t worry,

>Only Chernomyrdin can say this, and only if he gets a Spectrum. So
>people, let's chip in for the Spectrum for Chernomyrdin, and you'll see they'll start jailing you :)
Your thoughts are working in the wrong direction...we ourselves can figure out how
everyone will be better off. So let's invent!
And in order to get on the table of such people, you still have to earn it!
Make it so that all of us, Spectrumists, admire not only the perfection of
codes, but also the perfection of our world order.
End with partisanship, piracy, freebies and chaos!

With respect, Andrey Savichev/CGS

PS:

>Well, what can we say about Andrew Savichev’s proposal? Of course, all of this is naive and, to put it mildly, frivolous. Because author's software is money, and as
everyone knows, everyone needs money, and it doesn't matter how to get it honestly or not.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is important that tomorrow you get it from the same place from where you got it today.
Do you agree?
Athen you not only need to grab and row for yourself, but also think about
something else!
> <<>>

The real mafia lives according to transparent and clear laws and is organized
better than other states! No one is allowed to break the laws of the mafia, from ordinary members to the most senior functionaries. Everyone knows what and for what
he will get, both good and bad. ;)

According to knowledgeable people, we don’t have a real mafia. There is organized crime.

AS> People save everything for a certain time, you think to someone
Are you kidding? Or do you want to say that everyone has bags of stamped programs and
they are just waiting for the moment when it will be more profitable to sell it? Yes, ask any
author who announced his project over the last year, how things are, the answers
will be approximately the same - “yes, we are doing it little by little, but study/work takes up a lot of time,” etc. After all, there is not a single manufacturing company.

AS> do you want to be in the shadow of ChV? ;) And besides, many authors are now simply “in shock.” If Vyacheslav, an author revered and respected by all
AS>, was “screwed off” in this way, then who will take into account us, less famous and not at all
And here the point, imho, is not the fame of the author, but the efficiency with which the author
will be able to sell out licensed copies before the pirates do their job.

AS> famous authors! But nothing! We'll figure something out. Something
AS> simpler, but also better than the camps, we are INTELLECTUAL ;) And even more so
AS> since no one takes us seriously, this is only to our advantage.
Yes, you can think until the very second flood, here you have to do it practically

I completely agree, the pure rush has already begun!

AS> there is no other way!
Learn, study and study again!
