Of Course on the PC, you have (hopefully) enough paying volume to survive despite HUGE piracy, particularly in Asia… not so many Amigas there… If you only care about the 1st 50000 users of your product to recoup costs, then selling 100,000 and having 1 million copies in use is not so mortal a wound. I have been skeptical of the implicit assumption that every pirated copy of software represents a lost sale.
