I don`t know why all of a sudden amiga users are so against people downloading the roms,
It still doesn't make it LEGAL, which is the point of matter. Sure on an ethical argument, I don't mind making copies of WB floppies for people that might have corrupted disks, I don't mind e-mailing Install Disks to help people which are all violating that same law.
The problem I have is that people are putting 'ROM-images' which still hold a valid copyright to Amiga Inc., on a website or ftp server and put Amiga.Org at risk for being the 'advertisement'.
Argue the ethics all you want, the point is that is still ILLEGAL and this isn't the place to discuss pirating anything. I'd hate to see Amiga.Org run into any problems by a few pirates with ethics problems.
So overall all this nonsence about rom piracy is about 14 years to late.
As long as Amiga holds the copyright to the ROM images it doesn't change the legailty issue.
