You do have kickstart and workbench for download don't you? (not that I care but some people do get quite pissy about such things)
Oh yeah?!?

OS4 isn't there because it's still on sale same as OS3.9 isn't on there, everything else that's there is because other than downloading them from sites like mine from the net there is not other way for folk to easily (if at all) purchase them anymore... :)

As I've said anyone can easily find every piece of Amiga software on the net, just reckon it's way past the time to stop pretending that this is not the case and put an end to all the nonsense that this is somehow harming sales somewhere and pretending that this doesn't happen... :)

I've already said here that you can get hold of KS ROMS & Some Workbench versions by purchasing Cloanto's Amiga Forever but what about folk who have no use for Amiga Forever why should they have to pay over the odds for something when all they need is a working copy of some Workbench disks... :)

At the end of the day I don't make a single penny from my site in fact it costs me money to run the thing, so what the fuss is all about I really don't know... :)


People here used to be crazy on the attack when they found any copyright infringement (which like it or not is what you are doing) Many of them have left or don't attack as much anymore.

Ebay stuff was especially bad, they would email ebay if a commodore logo, or disc filled with copyrighted stuff was for sale.

Like I said though, offering copyrighted material for download, even if you don't make money, and even if you don't make money on it.

I bought Amiga Forever several times for a variety of reasons, and I don't really care what you do with your site, but they could concievably come after you, they have before.
Oh yeah?!?

@ KThunder & AmigaNG

I do know what I am doing you know, whether legal or not that is my problem to deal with when the time comes. It's only my opinion but it's way past time this whole subject was brought out into the open and debated properly... :)

At the end of the day if no company is willing to re-release all this old software at a price that is fair & reasonable and make it easily available to purchase, then perhaps what I am doing may result in something being done to help bring this about... :)


It has been discussed before, it has been it the courts before and they have always sided with the copright holder. If the copyright holder wants you to take it down they can legally force you to, and can even sue you for losses in Amiga Forever sales.
Oh yeah?!?
