Maybe the "magazines" can't complain, but some of the authors of the cover disk software packages might, 'cos back then only an exclusive right for especially this disk on that cover were given...


I would expect most of the authors to be secretly amazed that people still want to use their software in 2011.

It is certainly and undoubtedly illegal, and in 99% of the case, nobody will care if you download old amiga programs from 1992.


I always figured that when a publisher allowed their software to be released in full for some token lump sum payment from a $5 magazine that they were admitting that they didn't expect to sell another copy of it ever again.
