Here's a good wheeze for making lots and lots of
money. Set yourself up as a 'Media Agency' in the
computer software area, get a few clients fed up of
answering phone calls from magazine
advertisement
managers book lots of ads for your
clients in different magazines, make the clients pay
you an up-front retainer and the balance of their bills
very quickly (On the threat that if they don'4 you
can't pay the mags and they'll suspend the ads), and
then — this is the really clever bit --'simply
disappear (with the money of course).
This littl&money-making wheeze isn't so fanciful
as it may sound Sadly the software business has
attracted sharks from all over the place including
the acivertiSing agency end If you added up all the
money both CRASH and ZZAPI magazines have lost
be staggered

options, program facilities

joystick or keyboard control),

thing except the game itself.

GRAPHICS: Variety, detail and
effectiveness of screen pictures,
quality of animation,
smoothness of movement,
What makes the situation worse is that the client
software house loses out and so does the magazine
because it inevitably causes friction, a/though in a
sense it is neither side's fault
There are, of colirse some excellent agencies
around but this market seems to attract more than
its fair share of bad ones. The latter type are
parasites operating an often unnecessary service
inadequately and with nothing more on their minds
than personal greed at the expense of everyone
They are giving media agencies generally a bad

VALUE FOR MONEY: Takes into
account the price plus all the
above ratings.
OVERALL: With all the above
ratings in, this is IP— what the
reviewers think in general.
THE ZZAP! LABELS
GOLD MEDAL AWARD:
Definitely a game above all
others in the month of review.
There may not be a Gold Medal
game every issue, but if there is,
get it! Just occasionally there
may be two
SIZZLER: Hot games of the
month — must normally score
around 90%. We reckon any
ZZAPI Sizzler is a great buy,
unless you really hate that
particular type of game.
TACKY: In our view, a second-
rate piece of software. Steer well
clear.
SOFTWARE THEFT
OUTLAWED
sensible enough, because a law
like this cannot be effectively
used against the mass public
hell bent on swapping and
copying friends' games for their
collections, The activity is,
however, covered in the
ammendments by stating that
the act of loading a computer
program into a computer
without the copyright owner's
consent constitutes an
infringement of copyright. This
may sound a bit confusing, but if
you have bought a genuine
commercial game program,
then obviously the copyright
owner is happy for you to load it
into a computer, but the
copyright owner would never
consent to your loading the
program if it was for the
purposes of making a copy of it.
Well, it's a fine point and, as
you cart see, not an easy area to
enforce!
So all in all, the new laws are
hardly likely to affect the home
copier very much, unless Bob
Hay decides to make a few
examples where proof can be
obtained, but it should have a
much bigger effect on the
commercial pirates who have
tended to operate more
successfully in the C64 market
where the program prices are
traditionally higher and tape to
tape copying somewhat harder
than, say, on the Spectrum. But
what does need some clarifying
is what portion of the claimed
E150 million a year lost revenue
from theft is made up by
commercial pirates, and what
portion is lost through home
copying.
Illegal copying of games has
long been a sore point in the
industry, but from the 16th of
July it has been officially
outlawed and the copyright laws
ammended to make it easier for
the courts to determine whether
an infringement has taken place
and for them to send convicted
offenders to jail for up to two
years and be fined an unlimited
amount. FAST (Federation
Against Software Theft) has
lived up to its name, having
been set up only last July
primarily to seek changes in the
law to protect the copyright of
computer programs. FAST
claim that pirates (preferred
name — software thieves) are
costing the industry E150 million
a year.
FAST has also appointed Bob
Hay, a former Chief
Superintendent of Police, to act
as an Enforcement Co-
ordinator. Co-ordination has
always been one of the main
problems of preventing
software theft, with several
agencies working in isolation
and often in ignorance of each
other's efforts.
What is instantly noticable
from reading through the
provisions this amendment to
the act makes, is that the words
'in the course of trade' run right
through them all, implying that
the law will regard 'possession'
(in the domestic sense) as far
less serious than 'pushing', in
other words, copying for
financial gain. This seems
itorial and production:
