and A LOT more besides But it is probably illegal, judge for yourself.


That's not 'probably' illegal, it IS illegal. Remove that link and read the Posting Guidelines please:

Do not post links or requests for warez.
Warez in our definition is illegal software up to and including "abandonware". The exception is if the person is KNOWN to have the legal right to distribute said software. This is not debatable.


There's a reason why those guidelines are here. Keep your illegal software to yourself or use PM.

3. I find this offensive:

because:

a)  you are alleging that I am the owner of the site
b)  that the site contains illegal software
c)  that I am trying to disseminate illegal software
d)  that its ok to disseminate illegal software by personal email

a), c) and d) are false, and b) may or may not be true.

FYI the link came up after a yahoo search to a page that provided the link.

Thank you.




Offensive? Hardly. I was just bothered (again) by the fact that warez links pop up on this forum too often lately. I'm not accusing you (or anybody else) of owning or spreading any illegal software. For that matter: I'm no saint either, I've visited that site quite often myself :-)

I'm just trying to say that people should be careful when spreading links to illegal software. In Holland, there's hardly any trouble posting those links on forums since nobody really seems to care, but I've heard of a few cases (non Amiga though) in the US where forum/website owners had to pay ridiculous fines because some member spread illegal software. And I wouldn't like to see Wayne's paycheck going to those greedy {bleep}s in the US government :-)

As to your point d: no, that's not okay either, but at least nobody sees it  :-D
