Entry 6th January 2025: Post 1: For every lock there is a key.
For every lock there is a key.
It's odd to think that the very piracy that the community decried
during the heyday of the Amiga could be the one thing that saves
so many games and software in the end. The fact that some guy made
an illegal copy of something that has long vanished into the ether
and then made it public by circulating could mean the difference
between life and death of some software, and games.
So what of the legacy of the pirate brigade that pilfered games
and software during the days of retro computing. Whilst I do not
condone the activities of these guys, I guess I am kinda glad that
what they did managed to save some of the lost of the lost. There
is no way of knowing just why a creator chooses to let his ship
sink to the bottom never to be recovered for future generations.
Age can be a difficult process for most and death itself can catch
anyone out. Those that tend to the property of dead folk will not
have the understanding of the person what all their stuff was. And
so I guess lots of valuable items just get discarded. So maybe
just maybe the fact that a copy was made, legal or otherwise
gives hope that a legacy will actually be preserved.
I do reflect on such things given that when I pop my clogs the
chances are that lot from here will be lost.
That was all I wanted to say today. I have included a few random
images of software and Amiga gadgets used to make 'legal' backups
of software. I am comforted to reflect that none of these items
were ever used for unscrupulous ends. After all the Amiga world
inherited by the modern community probably has little regard for
what was right or wrong in the past. Just as long as they can
play that game ...
Ar hum.
