Kickrom 3.5 rev.40.71

Last time AMIGA Inc. heard of someone making his own 3.9 ROM they send their lawyers. They do not want to sell 3.9 ROMS to you, but they sue you if you make your own ROM/tell others how to do it.

See Amiga is a hobby and if some company sends you a not so nice letter via Reedsmith because you made a Video where it seems that an A1k is showing OS3.9 boot screen. You probably will not fight it out to all extent.

With regard to the issue that you are talking about, we were notified by third parties that someone had manipulated and altered the ROM’s. This is a violation of our IP and they were notified. We have since been told that it was not true and nothing was really done, that it was a manipulated video, not actual code that was changed.

Look at number eight...

Maybe (surely?) Bill's claim is crap, but will you mess with Reedsmith for your hobby? Just announce that you make a step by step guide for creating a 3.9 ROM out of your original 3.1 ROM and the BB2 RomUpdate of your legally purchased OS3.9 CD and fight it out, if you have the balls (or money). :-P

I don't say that it is illegal, but AMIGA Inc. thinks it is and they (maybe) will come after you as they already have with others.

Some archive even has my name tagged to such file. I have absolutely NOTHING to do with it, nor does it make the file any more genuine

Maybe it has your ExecSG incorporated as it is (writing out of head) a little bit smaller than original Exec, leaving more room for other updated libs ...

Oh, and BlizKick has done this for a decade now, where is my DMCA takedown notice or the lawsuits against me? (Included is a a tool that can apply the modules to ROM and create a new one, this can be used with BlizKick itself, or burned to EPROM for example)

I don't say that BlizKick/Remus/ROMSplit are illegal and i'm not AInc's or someone elses lawyer, i only tell you what has happened at least one time, that's all. Maybe in their view the tool is not illegal, using it for altering their code is. -> Ask AInc.

Taking a weapon with you is not always illegal, shooting someone with it will be most of the time -> Bad analogy but i hope you get what i mean.

Piru you got mail.

The video was taken down by the author because of causing trouble with AInc/Reedsmith because they thought the author had really manipulated their ROM's/Kickstart Disk - infringing their copyright in their POV.
