New pirate eBay goods: demo DVD

[motorollin]

There are loads of these on eBay. I keep reporting them when I see them, but I don't know how much eBay really care :roll:

That's not true. Just because it's freely downloadable from a web site doesn't mean you have the right to redistribute it, even if the software is considered to be freeware.

I have seen lots of software on Aminet which states that it is not to be distributed on CD compilations. Did you check all of these when compiling your CD? And for the ones which stated they were not to be compiled and sold on, did you contact the authors and get permissions?

I agree that this is not as bad as people selling compilations of commercial Amiga games, but even so, you cannot assume you have the right to redistribute other people's work just because it was available to you on the Internet.

Sorry but the same applies with software from PD houses. Some developers just don't want their software bunged on CDs/DVDs as part of a compilation. They may choose to distribute through the 'net, or by PD houses, but still prefer for their software not to be distributed on CDs.

I understand what you're trying to do by compiling your collection so others can benefit. But you can't assume developers are happy for you to do this.
