Ok, so I want to 'pirate' a rom chip for an old computer system.
I bet the people complaining have pirated lots of stuff maybe films, games, MS products but arent as bothered as it has nothing to do with their beloved hobby.
I want ONE rom chip for my A600.
If I wanted a bag of 30 EPROMS to sell on ebay as copied 3.1 rom chips in direct competition with Amiga retailers then fair enough, thats bad.
@motorollin
That reply was pointless. I really don't care if I cant buy an EPROM chip from you.
Nobody here is wanting to mass burn and sell kickstart roms!
There is always going to be a demand for original kick chips as obviously burning your own requires the knowledge and hardware. Its simple demand and supply. Your economical outlook on this is ridiculous to say the least with a highly unlikely outcome in an inappropriate market for your argument.
@InTheSand
If you create a business thinking that consumers are ethical in the way they buy goods then thats wrong. Ive bought plenty of hardware from AmigaKit and now im getting hounded for burning a kickstart rom chip! Supporting amiga retailers...how ethical. I am a consumer who will buy (questionable) substitutes of price elastic products.
Seems to be a lot of martyrs read:Fanboys on this forum regarding copyright issues.
I mean back in the day when Amigas were all the rage im sure a lot of you were disk copying, buying copied disks, jiffy swapping and downloading from BBS. It came with the territory, floppy swapping and such. You were 'stealing' from good companies then, and burning a single kickstart rom for a little A600 project is somehow worse.
Someone please argue your case.
