As I wrote before, it's strictly for personal use, to replace old & worn diskettes that I own.


Well, can't you scan them yourself and fix them up in a photo editor, then?

I kind of dislike the thought of distributing the labels, as really, the only point to having them is to produce  "reproduction" diskettes - which will probably end up for sale on eBay as "original" Workbench disks.  

Helping someone out with a clearly labelled copy of Workbench is one thing, but passing off counterfeit originals is something else entirely.

@Cass / Jeff -

I see your point... For any restoration / preservation project, you want everything to be as perfect as possible...  

It just sucks that so many people abuse the copyrights and pass off counterfeit and illegal materials for personal profit.  I guess I've really been disappointed in the "Amiga community" in this regard.  

At this point in time, the only real Amiga market left is the scammers market...  So you can see why people may hesitate to provide something that can aid in market abuse so easily.

Note: this is not to say I think that Cass, Jeff, or any other individuals here necessarily fall into this catagory.  It's just that some have, in the past...
