Is Miami now open source ?

@dammy

I agree, H&P are just a nasty rash on the name Amiga,

Do those guys actually do anything for the Amiga? apart from shafting developers.

If you want to buy MiamiDX but the author does not want your money then bollox to him and download a keyfile.

@lempkee

i would hope alot more people follow up on that and buy/reg whatever they use, but the state of amiga is more or less like any small market is, maybe we can fix that?

Many people are ready to purchase software but the authors just dont care anymore.

I remember having the same crap with the author of "Backbone", sent him emails and even sent a letter by snail mail but got no reply so i just eventually found a full version floating around the net.

Made a James Bond game with backbone, sent it to Amiga Format and it got praised but they rejected it twice because it contained copyrighted images and sounds from the films, total joke.

I agree with you about people and registering software but if the users cant register due to the authors then some will download pirate versions and personally i dont blame them.

The Miami backdoor was true and proved to sent out details of the user to a certain IP address but DC removed the IP address and replaced it with the localhost one (127.0.0.1).

To test it just download a version DC claimed to have a backdoor and get old pirate keyfiles and run it under UAE and tell windows/mac/linux firewall to log all activity and you will be see it connect to somewhere when Miami goes online (untick use bsd).
