Legal issue of Kickstart ROMs

[Trev]

@persia

And much, much longer in the US. Without a corporate owner, the rights to the software might revert to the individual authors, depending on who "owned" the bits in the first place. We won't see a public domain Kickstart until 2085 or so, unless the owner(s) releases it into the public domain. Really.

Oh I forgot to mention... I have a legal document to prove I bought my car.
I can show anyone proof I own my car. No one has proven they own the roms.
No one. Show us the documents. That should settle this whole argument, and if you really did own the roms or rights to the roms, I would think you would certainly want to show that "title" to prevent any misunderstandings

Assuming all the legal bits were properly followed, you should have a document somewhere in your possession which states you do not own the software, you've only licensed it. Copy away, I say, but be prepared to face the consequences (not that there will ever be any).
