As long as legit ROMs are still available for reasonable money it's at least unethical to make copies - even if the IP owner doesn't care. Actually SELLING and generating profit out of illegal copies is more than a bad joke.

Please support those Amiga dealers still around instead. And please report these sales to ebay to make it more difficult to run profit from this.

Piracy killed the Amiga's software market and the C= "speed bumps" killed the hardware part of it. I did pirate a lot back then (hey, I was young and had no money  :-P) but have reconsidered since.

I trust AmiGAkit is selling original C= or AT ROMs; since these came from official sources, royalties are included. Cloanto officially licensed the various OS versions for redistribution with AF, this has even been mentioned on the AInc website once.

There's also a slight difference in offering 'EPROMs w/ programming service, please provide data to program' or 'Kickstart 3.1 ROMs'.
