I agree 100% that kickstart images should be available to purchase easily... (not encrypted ones like on Amiga Forever along with stuff you may not want or need) but how many years has all the arguments and counters arguments being going on for... 
It way past time for anyone who want's them and is not able to purchase them easily should have the opportunity to obtain them on the net for free, cos apart from a few whingers on here still harping on about copyright, who actually cares any more , certainly not the various companies who claim they own them otherwise if these companies did care then why can they be easily found on the net... 
It's ruddy pointless still going on about them in this day and age, if you really want them then just look on the net and you'll find them easily...
Easy enough to get a copy of the roms by running the emulator with the encrypted roms and then ripping them out.
Most emulators allow you to use the encypted ones anyway.
I really don't see what the fuss is to be honest. If somone still owns the rights to the roms and they dont want them being public domain then thats fair enough. Get over it. Either buy them from cloanto or as you say get them from dodgey websites
