Well, selling the wallpapers wouldn't be illegal I guess (since they are public available), but distributing ISOs of OS3.5 and OS3.9 would be.

this guy is looking for trouble

@Cyberus
This is the guy U wanna make a mega complaint against! :-o
-
Blast him quickly !

The items on these DVDs are *not* public domain- some are current Amiga products and are still very much copyrighted such as the Amiga Forever 6, 3.1 ROM files, AmigaOS 3.9! These titles are still being supported and sold.
This auction is not hurting large corporations at all - its hurting the few remaining Amiga developers and retailers.

I’m astonished about people getting away with this type of thing.
Everyone that has put effort into designing the wallpapers if their not happy about their work being sold for profit (I know I wouldn’t be) they should contact eBay right away.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy is connected to the seller that Wayne had to report last week either.

It happens all the time if a enough people complain and cloanto and other developers were alerted to there products be sold illegaly ebay might take notice .the more complaiants ebay get the better if they do nothing tell them you will report them to uk tv program watchdog .
-
Just checked ebay. The guy has been kicked out. :banana: :banana:
-

damn straight!
none of my wallpapers are listed in that site or he would have been wearing his intestines for a hat :pissed:
-
so it says that he is no longer listed with ebay. Does that mean he's gone? or just not on ebay?
-
He'll just open another account..
-
Very probably...
His web site on MyFreeWebs.net is still up, unfortunately...
However, there's a "contact us" page here: http://www.myfreewebs.net/contactus.php
... so I've sent an email to the owners of MyFreeWebs.net alerting them to the fact that he's selling illegal software...
Perhaps a couple of you would like to do the same!
