Abandonware vs warez and Amiga?

[AmiDelf]

I am the editor of Amitopia. A magazine for Amiga users in Scandinavia, which is using www.amigapower.tk/forum for discussions and info about our radio Radio Nitro.

Last week I posted a news item on both amiga.org and amigaworld.net about Amitopia stronger etc.. and the news item came thru here on amiga.org, but wegster on amigaworld.net didn`t want to post it because of warez/abandonware software been hosted on www.amigapower.tk website.

Amitopia dosent want to be seen on as a warez or keycracker magazine. Were using www.amigapower.tk/forum for the discussions about it and Radio Nitro. Nothing more.

Do you think that what www.amigapower.tk is hosting is illegal or not? I know that Amiga forever have the rights to use the Kickstart files in their package, but they are using UAE in some form also.

What should I do? Move to another webserver or is amigapower.tk ok? I am pleased to be able to use their forum for the magazine for free, but if the community feels its wrong. Tell me.

Michal, editor of Amitopia

Well..

1st.
The site isn`t mine. So I am using another persons site. He allowed and wanted to give the forum to me, so I could use it for the magazine.

2nd.
I will remoove myself from the site because of this. I just think that what amigapower.tk, back2roots.org and other abandonware sites is doing.. is preventing Amiga games and utilities to be withdrawn from the historybooks.

3rd.
I need someone which could freely host a site for Amitopia for free at the moment.

I dont own the forum neither. amigapower.tk is not mine at all, but I have got support to be a part of the forum.

Well, now I am working for getting a better place to be for Amitopia and Radio Nitro.
