what's this about then...?

I've never really been able to get a straight answer as to who has new non-pirated 3.1 roms for sale?  You can get either old used 3.1 roms or somebody is pirating them.  Just because a person runs a legit store doesn't mean he has an endless supply of nos 3.1 roms that have been sitting around for 10 years.  Last I knew Amiga INC. wasn't producing them.  If we are going to be pointing a finger about new 3.1 roms being pirated, I think it has to be an all inclusive finger.

What Warehouse in the Phillapeans are they getting them from?

This is starting to remind me of that new promo on TV for the Nixon/David Frost movie where Nixon is saying: "If the President of The United States is doing it, it must not be against the law" or something to that effect.

I repeat, Where is this Warehouse in the Phillapeans and do they have any new A3000T's, or FMV thingy's for the CD32?  Or is all that they have left items that are easily copied or bootlegged?

If all that the remaining Amiga user's have left to do with their time is to worry about turning in pirates of 3.1 roms than this hobby (Dream) is a lot closer to death than I realized.

If ReDrum is selling an A2000 motherboard that someone suspects might have a pirated 3.1 rom onboard is that person morally obligated to turn it in to ebay and have the listing removed and make ReDrum take the EBay Online course on what is copywrited and what isn't? (Been there, Done that.  I made the fatal mistake of trying to sell a new still sealed original copy of Windows 95 by itself, and not with the computer it was sold with. I'm sure my poor Mother thought she raised a better son than one to commit a crime like that)

Can someone on ebay sell a PIV board with copies of the installation disks when someone else is trying to sell one with originals?

This is a big can of worms being opened when you start turning people in or telling people to turn people in.

The Weird One Says:

"don't include me in your pointing."

You'd better make sure that some of that software that you are selling that you don't only own the right to use it.  If that is so, it is illegal for you to sell it.  In that case the finger is pointed directly at you.    :madashell:

How can people make a living selling new software when old software is being illegally sold.

Everybody in their own way is violating one law or another.  All I said was if you want to throw stones, there's a good chance that we're all in glass houses.  Yes, even weirdarama!
