The question is not "whether you have to", but "who is distributing software that infringes copyrights".
Lets put the discussion in another way (it's a valid point nevertheless by Thomas).
I also posted this idea on EAB and i hope this gets something going.
OS3.9 BB2 is now very old (released in 2002).
Maybe a new OS3.x version can be created that has all/most goodies inside that now can be found in coffin.
This together with the new upcoming KS ROM's from Hyperion would be a very nice package.
And maybe some deals could be made for example with the author from Roadshow to include a demo version and maybe some other nice software packages/contributions.
Specially with the Vampire cards selling like hotcakes and after the release of V4 and hopefully V1200 the sales of vampire cards will only get more.
In other words there is nice business opportunity here for all.
Like i said before, i did create my own beyond 3.9 BB2 install from official and legal software (i always buy my Amiga software legit to support the devs) but it was a whole lot of work, took me months to get on the level where it is now.
Most users do not want to go down that road and just want to get up and go fast, Coffin offers this.
Now the question is can there be a legitimate way to offer users the same as with coffin/Apollo OS whatever.
For starters i would be very happy to pay for such a product saves me a ton of work!
