It may have appeared that you were condoning piracy, which is against the terms of use.  You said that you were "letting the community know" about the file, and commented that people could google for it.  Perhaps you were just highlighting this as a problem, but it seemed like you were encouraging people to download OS4.  Remember that piracy was one of the factors that helped kill the Amiga before...

Not that it'd run on anything other than an A1, of course 8-)


I see. Yea, i just posted about it, because i thought it was interesting. The last thing i would expect to see on a bt site is a torrent of aos4. out of curiosity, i played around with google and found out that it was pretty easy to get.

warez people are strange ones, they seem to just collect stuff just for the sake of having it, as if software were like trading cards or something.

I really didnt think much of the post, sorry about it. It's kind of frustrating that the OS isnt yet released, and few are using it seems like. Worse, looks like they might just can it. It would be nice if eventually the user base gets large enough to gain critical mass.

ummm, whats your deal? Why this hostility? I got your nasty gram. I didnt mean to cause a stir. I appologised for my post when i realized what i did. I'll appologise again. I'm sorry. I will be carefull and considerate on what i post in the future.

Perhaps you compiled your day with a --grumpy option. I highly recommend compiling ones day with a --happy option.  :-D
