I wil not sell them on ebay. I'm makeing an own webstore in PHP. Server is running and already installed.
First i wil contact al open source manufactures, like all linux, bsd, sun and also closed source like linspire and Zeta. And the games wil come later. Next year some where.
And why is it lame? When people order a cd whit 100 or 1000 games on it. Ultimate Amiga Game collection. Like Amiga Forever only sells 2 OS, 2 roms and some freeware like Winfellow and WinUAE. And a little interface. When i'm going to make it is also got an interface where the enduser just klik a game and it's going to start. And i do not burn it, i press it.
Cloanto actually paid license money to amiga inc for both the OS and roms afaik..
Back2roots is a example of a site that is entirely legal and got permission from various of commerical companies for redistributing these games/adf images for free.
I am sure you could get permission from some of them as well, but i doubt many of them would allow you to sell these games for personal profits, unless you make a money deal with them :-P
And as tjlazer said, it is a whole different deal if you only charge for the media price and dont make a direct profit yourself. You still would have to get permission unless they are already been made PD.
