But he does say (paraphrase) that this is a shareware/freeware version of OS3.9, so there's no licensing violations.

I'd like to hear his explanation of that.

Read it again:

This version of OS.v.3.9 is shareware/freeware and there is not a breach of copyright. This is a fully working version.


How does that read?

I bet a call from Bill will change his mind...

[EDIT]: He's currently not selling any items...

Didn't have anything when I looked earlier.  What a jack-@$$.

I hope Wayne files a complaint with eBay for using the AO logo.

On top of that, he says that there's 700 disks on one CD, 750 on the other... ummmmm, at there really 1450 Amiga games released PD?  Or give him the benefit of the doubt and say that, on average, Amiga games came on two disks, that's still 725 games supposedly released PD... does that sound right??

I'm tempted to buy one of these sets just to report him to the current IP owners of non-PD games.  Think Psygnosis: I'm sure Sony would be happy to put a slap-down.

[EDIT]: When I click on the link for seller's other items, it shows up that the seller has no items for auction.  Anyone else see this??

One of his buyers says he "did not expect a copy" but was happy, anyway.  Lends credence to his sliminess.

So at this point he's violated AO's trademark, libeled AmigaKit, and potentially violated the IP of numerous companies including Amiga.

Not a bad tally for a day's work.
