I respect the copyrights of those who originally created, or published informational texts, and I really dislike the attitudes that some Amiga users display regarding old software, or information, which they think should be free, just because it is not currently relevant, or actively being updated. This "Entitlement" attitude is something I will never understand.
I also respect copyright, but there should be a reasonable limit, they have made all the money that they WANT to make from the software, so after a grace period of say, 10 years from last date of commercialisation, copyright should either be sold on or terminated.
