Archiving old and rare Amiga Software

[mycroft69]

Okay, let me step in where the angels fear to tread. Here in the good ol' US of A, in the little state of Vermont, I have a small collection of CU Amiga and Amiga Format coverdisks -- on CD!  They cover a period of 1997-98 and include demos and full functioning software, like DOpus 5.11. I'd like to make these resources available to Amiga users worldwide, free of charge, but I don't want to engage in piracy. However, I'm not a lawyer and really have no idea what is legal and what isn't in this case; so many of the former companies have either folded or have moved on to Mac or Blue-type. I tried a coverdisk website (http://amigacoverdisks.emuunlim.com/) but got no response to my E-mail.  If anyone has ideas or wants to work with me on this, let me know.

Thanks for the clarification, skippy. Please forgive me for my slowness, but I'm not sure my offer was acknowledged. I have at least 30 CDs for 2 English mags and am offering the data free of charge to anyone who is archiving and making the data available for general downloads -- as long as this action on my part is legal. I understand that such extensive data may be a problem for uploading, but perhaps other arrangements could be worked out.
