Is it illegal to distribute Amithlon?
« on: April 18, 2007, 07:26:47 PM »
I didnt get it to boot up on my PC..I think it was hardware related..I think.. I havent tried w/my new PC (selling it actually and building another one)... so if I copy it and send the ISO to someone...is it illegal or is that piece of kit freeware already?

is it worth keeping around?  or is E-UAE/UAE a better emulator?

Any one of you booting into Amithlon on a regular basis?

You are you're own master! No one owns you! :)


:lol:

true.  I've got copies of alot of stuff from my Amiga days.  I'm not an angel by any means.   I was just wondering if it was worth keeping, meaning am I just getting rid of something I could use later?

It would be illegal to make copies of it since it includes AmigaOS 3.x. #?UAE is a better emulation as it emulates the custom chips (Amithlon doesn't, which is one of the reasons why it is so fast).


ok, so I'm not missing anything.  Its as good as gone.  thanks!

You can't pick and choose the laws you want to follow


of course you can..  I do that every day.  :lol:

being that even using it is illegal I guess a backup wouldnt hurt anyone.  Disclaimer: That is assuming I would want to back it up or was going to.   there..that should keep the anti-piracy folks happy.
