if i recall correctly, i remember seeing him selling ancient software, which his customers probably found difficult to find. So what's the problem?

Fatboy, do you feel "righteous" and proud grassing him up to authority? You've probably prevented many people from enjoying their Amigas.

Congratulations, I hope eBay give you a pat on the head and a goldstar for your services and undying fanaticism. Nothing the Amiga community needs more than people like you, fighting the lost cause and helping the idiotic law "clamp down" on the distribution of 20+ year old software which even the original software developers couldn't give a toss about.

motor: he's saying that you are free to say that your opinion is "right", and you can make a logically true arguement to back-up your opinion. but you can never PROVE that your opinion is necessarily right. Opinions are subjective. Thankfully, this world is still full of people that have their own opinions and as long as your argument is sound than it is right...for you.

the idea of one absolute truth is a false idea dreamt up by lawyers, because "proving" absolute truth makes them VERY rich. In most situations people should just learn to live with other people's opinions and, as fatboy just said, just enjoy Amigaaaaaaaa!!  :crazy:

yep, 1+1=2 is your opinion and it happens to be an objective opinion that is provable and "correct". Because if you were an architect and suddenly decided that 1+1=3, you would soon be proven "wrong" when your buildings collapsed and fall to the ground.

Try proving that copying 20+ year old software is wrong, or that I do not see the colour red as others see blue and blue as red. Those are subjective opinions and unproveable.

You could try using "the law" to prove you are correct, but then the law is nothing but a social construct that changes over time to suit hypocrits in power. For example, not to long ago it was "wrong" in the law's eyes to be homosexual.
