Franko is trying to help this dwindling community by giving something back.


It's not his to give.

Ok mongo, I have great respect for your posts on this site and the help you give people here, so please tell me who I can contact to try and obtain a distribution licence to do so, that will satisfy everyone legally... :)

Well thanks for that but who is Bill and where can I find details on Amiga.com, don't want to go emailing some guy called Bill (could be the janitor for all I know) and I'd like to research Amiga.com first... :)


That would be Bill McEwen. I'm pretty sure Amiga Inc can't afford a janitor, so you don't have to worry about that.

Just checked and a search for Amiga.com, took me to the AmigaInc site, I've contacted them twice and never received one reply... :(


Maybe they're not interested in doing business with you. All things considered, I'm not exactly surprised.

They may not be interested in doing business as you say but it wont help them if they turn out to be the copyright owners and they take me to court and I can prove to the Judge that I had indeed done my best to contact them... ;)


It makes no difference if you contacted them or not. They have no obligation to do business with you or to even respond to you.

This is what you seem to fail to understand. They own it, what they do with it is completely up to them, and they owe you nothing.

Yeah, that's not good. Floppies don't like long term storage. An occasional read helps preserve data as all reads rewrite existing data.


No it doesn't.
