I worked for a now long defunct company with half a dozen of each, no idea which revision. My job was to crack and re-enable copy protection to create master tapes for bulk duplication.

I was told (as a teenager) that we had agreements with the copyright holders, but I never saw them. We also had an Orange..an Apple ][ clone, a Sinclair QL and a few Commodore and MSX machines.

My own computer was a VIC-20.

@vk6flab @Tiger_Man_ wow!
My father was in a scheme where a pilot friend bought Spectrum games in England, he breaks the protections and make bulk copies. And they sell the pirates games on a official Sinclair Store in Madrid.
Wild times!

PD: He was in HAM, also.

I personally have good memories of my Spectrum +3 , that my father bought when I was 6 years old.
