Commodore Scotland Under Threat...

Damn I get tired of these anal retentive arguments on this subject!

Yeah that may be true, but you are not the one footing the bill to keep the server up and running.  The owner of THIS board is the one that will have the legal issues if someone posts links to known piracy sites...  

It amazes me how everyone bitches about the facts and take it out on the moderators and board owners. The facts are that there are laws and if they are not followed someone will enforce them and quite often this will cause a lot of issues for folks that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the infraction.

For all you folks that disregard the courts and want to sponsor files and what-not that legally belong to someone else, by all means go ahead as Franko has and knock yourselves out.. But don't disregard the rules on this forum and cause issues for Amiga.org...

...some outlaw!

HaHa..   OK that was pretty funny...  

For the record, I am not going to give any views for or against in regards to the relative merits of pirating or not pirating software.. I will also not be dragged into a debate as to the LEGITIMACY of the current laws regarding piracy and how they relate to the current Amiga entity or it's related software...   The legal arguments are complex and the money involved substantial...

Unfortunately, people get too hung up on their own personal opinions regarding a particular law or how a particular company enforces the law, but the sad fact is that the law is just that. Whether you like it or agree with it.. Or not.

My email above is simply stating that Amiga.org has to follow the law to the letter or risk everything.   We as forum dudes risk nothing and while our opinions are important, they are not the end all be all...  
 
Take a second and ask yourself..  If it was my board and my money and my sweat running it...  Wouldn't you put measures in place to safeguard it too?  

You can bet your ASS I would!

OMG! And who are you?! I am pretty sure Jim knows what I was aiming at, even if you obviously don't have a clue.  Sorry if that went over your head.
You should re-read your 2nd paragraph, and then re-read my post. Maybe it'll sink in....

Not sure why you are upset with my posting..  I guess I am clearly missing your point..  Genuinely sorry if I offended anyone, I just thought you were complaining about the debate and I was simply trying to clarify WHY the debate...  

No offense was intended...
