<H1>Apple II: The Apple II Piracy Lore</H1>
|
|
<P>
|
|
The Apple II is likely the first of the home computers to go from merely experiencing
|
|
software piracy to being a place of pirate "Culture". Groups, alliances and lore begin
|
|
rising up in the early 1980's, and continue throughout the decade. In the introduction
|
|
screens of cracked Apple II games, groups list their memberships and declare pride
|
|
for their work. Pirates jump through different groups, backstab, and generally
|
|
exhibit the natural competitiveness of young computer users. As the pirates communicate
|
|
through BBSes, they share messages, jibes, and "rag files" that attempt to decimate
|
|
other, more inferior (in their opinion) groups.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Collected here are pieces of these legends and battles. It would be in the best interest
|
|
of all involved to not believe anything said in them, although no doubt grains of
|
|
truth run through them all. This is as good as it gets.
|
|
<P>
