Reported!

From the item description: "this software bundled i have on offer took me hours upon hours to compile and create"

Shouldn't that be: "this software that I downloaded took me minutes to dump on a couple of CD-Rs"

Damn, "shillard98" has bought it...

And the other copies haven't yet been removed... A shame eBay is so slow to respond...

Ooh! I think I've touched a nerve!! :-)

I used the "ask a question" function and mentioned that this was pirated software... The seller has responded!

Hey, Cheers for telling ebay that i had pirated software, for your information you clown this software is legal, i own many copies, and im not charging people for the software, im charging for my time put into creating this, so next time you run off and shoot your mouth off consider asking about it, or stfu ok.


So do we really think this particular seller has a license to sell Kickstart ROMs and OS3.9 CDs???!

Another reply, after I mentioned that the Kickstart ROMs and OS3.9 are both still copyrighted:

Quote
dude you got to much time on your hands,the kickstart roms are rips that i spent many hours ripping from my amiga hardware and the OS3.9 i brought 10 copies from the UK for $50 each im just trying to help preserve our amigas, but you are a tool trying to accuse everyone, get a job u nub or get a wife to satisfy your life, do something useful, hahha the fact of the matter is i'm 26 years old and own every amiga model ever made your probably 40-50 and own a A500 u nub gtfo.


Seems interesting that he "brought" his copies for $50 each and is now selling them at a loss...

I guess this is the final reply... I pointed out that his efforts undermine the real dealers, and that OS3.9 and Amiga Forever are widely available legal options:

I'm so glad he's "over it"!
