I think with Amiga Inc. and silly billy now dissapeared, its about time they get declared free. If anyone has a complete set of roms I would be happy to host them. If someone threatens to sue me, I'll let everyone know.
Legally...
I mean any legal protection for those has to be expired by now, since they are so old. They, along with the source code to all amiga os, especially os3.1+ should just be left to the remaining amiga community.
While I appreciate what cloanto and others do, its kind of ridiculous that someone is still trying to make money off of 15 and 20 year old rom images
or 15 and 20 year old operating systems.
Just my humble opinion....

And so wrong on so many levels. Such matters should never be decided at the whim of a community let alone an individual. There are rules and mechanisms to protect the intelectual and legal rights of those that are gifted and minded enough to share their produce. No other person has a right to take such property without the express permission of the creator. You start breaking this rule then next thing you know you'll be downloading music of the internet free, downloading films free, downloading games free etc etc. I mean honestly who wants to be associated with that kind of criminal activity.
They don`t belong to you. Simple.
