That simply means that Amiga Format has a license to put Workbench disks on their magazine CDs, it doesn't mean that Workbench disks are freely distributable now.
I don't get all the fuss. All this "let's pirate this stuff now!" hysteria is not going to change anything - Workbench disks will not be freely distributable unless the copyright owner (whoever that is) steps forward and says "go ahead".
Until that happens, the owner of any Amiga forum will be responsible for the links his users are posting. You might think "where's the risk?" - but however small the risk might be, it's the website owner's risk so he gets to decide.
With several companies arguing about who owns what exactly right now, some idiot might actually think it would be a clever move to show he's still defending his alleged property - and the easiest way to show that is to have your lawyers send mail to the next website admin. It wouldn't be the first time an Amiga enthusiast gets mail from Amiga Inc. or a similarly useless outlet.
Everybody with more than two working brain cells will find the Workbench and Kickstart files easily enough anyway. Personally, I can do without the people not meeting the "two brain cells" criteria.
Which is pretty much what I said at the time. And even downloading Future Publishing's Amiga Format CD ISOs is illegal to be honest. If you don't believe me ask Polly who is the rights administrator and she will confirm it is not legal.
