I am the President of of Amiga club here in Vancouver (Panorama – Pacific
Northwest Amiga Association). We recently amalgamated with the Commodore
Computer Club giving us just over 600 members. We average between 150 to 200
members per meeting (2 meetings per month) at which we distribute normally 2
disks of PD software per meeting. We also do not condone piracy of any kind,
however we do use Marrauder to copy the disks since it allows us to dump an
entire disk into memory and then dump it out to 3 or 4 drives at a time.
Without Marrauder, we just would not be able to do the copying during the time
of the meeting. By the way, we usually just barely finish copying peoples
disks by the end of the meeting, and that is with at least three machines
running 3 drives at a time.
I suppose the point I am trying to make, is that just because someone is using
Marrauder, does not mean that they are pirating. Until something better comes
along, now that Marrauder is no more, we will continue to use it.
