Like someone said, I don't see any of the
non-Apple II communities up in
arms about it. Atari, Commodore, TRS-80? They have their online "warez
shoebox" archives as well. But I don't hear about any fights over in those
newsgroups!
The sad part is that by fighting, the Apple people have lost valuable
opportunities to save their software. A huge quantity of software was
written for the Apple. A lot of it is good. Only some of the good stuff is
available online. I'm not sure how to fix the situation at this late date.
I don't really care about the bad software, although I probably should. :)
