There is still lots of Amiga piracy. Everything and anything can be
downloaded, usually cracked or with a generated keyfile. Some Zeus
Developments programs have been found too, which is really annoying when one
of them only cost £5 :(

In particular, piracy is the norm in Russia and ex-USSR countries with only
some good guys - but from my checks, most cracks seem to originate in western
Europe.
