In AmigaLand there's no harm for being a cheapass occasionally. This hobby costs serious money sometimes!

Please put "I am a cheap ass


I realize this "cheap ass" is tongue and cheek and most likely related to the recent posts about linking to disk images, I thought I'd note that posting Amiga Forever as an alternative location to finding ADFs for real Amiga is 100% ILLEGAL!

Anybody, that continues to post suggesting to buy Amiga Forever and rip the ADFs as a way get disks for the "real" Amiga's will from now on be reported for their PIRATE activities!

It is interesting that they have pointed out that THEY have crippled the OS3.x installation so that it won't work on real Amigas.  However, were they forced by their license to do that, was it a deliberate choice by them so that it couldn't be used on real Amigas, or was it just a result of their "tinkering"?

Unless the license says otherwise, they is absolutely no reason why they can't have a hard drive environment that works on UAE and also happens to work on a real Amiga.  They may not be able to advertise it for use on a real Amiga, but as UAE happens to emulate one then it is hardly their fault that it works.

Was done on purpose of course, enforced on them.

Ah, finally, I thought that this link would never showed up.

Anyway, the first one to report here is the moderator Transition who had closed the other thread and the next day appears to have an offer from Cloanto. Not to mention that he deliberately connected two totally unrelated issues (stock AOS 1.3-3.1 ADFs and AF a Win/Linux amiga emulation suite).

You know it was forced on them or are you guessing?  Their old hard drive environments didn't have this problem.

I assume you don't own AmigaForever.  OS3.x/WB3.x is their pre-installed custom Workbench environment based on WB3.1, but tarted up to look like OS3.9 on steroids and with lots of added software.  They call it 3.x because it isn't 3.0, 3.1, 3.5 or 3.9.

Report away numptie, I bought The Premium Edition of Amiga Forever and the only things on it that were of any use to me were the DVD videos... :(

Amiga Forever is totally useless for those of us who still use real Amiga hardware as the stuff on it is not the proper and untouched original Workbench disks... ;)

So there is nothing to rip from it, so what on earth are you going to report... :confused:

It's very obvious now that Cloanto is more important on this site than it's members, which is both a shame and damn disgrace... :(

Amazing what a few free copies of Amiga Forever can buy you these days... (almost as bad as Coke Zero)... :madashell:

Well if that was meant to be funny then I aint laughing (don't get it)

So DiscreetFX is paying for this compo in order to support Cloanto, well it's your money and your entitled to do with it as you wish... :)

But why does Cloanto have the rights here to complain about certain things and force thread to be shut down and no explanation is given as to why certain links that they don't like have to be removed, or the decency to say why the thread has been closed or what was wrong with the link in the first place... :confused:

It's the same old story one rule for them another rule for us, reckon I'll just have to add Cloanto to me hit list along with CUSA & Mickey Mouse... ;)

The answer can be found by rubbing a bottle not can of Pepsi Max. Drink or dump out then read the inner bottom.
