This situation is completely different, and was allowed by Commodore. (For OS v 1.0-1.2 at least.)

Commodore allowed the copying and distribution of KS discs, just like at the timne Apple allowed the copying and distribution of MacOS and ProDOS.

it was right in the Commodore license as a matter fo fact.

The reasoning behind this was that you could only use the KS discs on an Amiga 1000, so you have obviouslly spent money with Commodore to buy one, otherwise the KS discs woul be useless.

ROMfiles for an emulator are quite a different matter...you are not spending money with the IP/ED owners, so you are not entitld to use the software.

But to put your original point in a totally new light: Janet Reno (IIR) once said that Amiga is the most popular platform for sw piracy, including sw piracy of MacOS software...(Emplant anyone?)
