I'm glad people are starting to have the courage to leave workbench disks and roms online. Its ridiculous for anyone to cry about it. Usually its the people raping the corpse of amiga that care.
 
A side note Franko, I have been meaning to check out your files and I tried to download a few game disks. How do I open an lzx file?

Os3.9 lha-ram won't do it.
7zip on windows won't do it.
Xarchiver on linux won't work either?

Dammy,

Your horribly mistaken if you think anyone can prove ownership of the roms at this point in time...
 
No one can legally prove ownership of os1.x-3.x either.
 
Its only the people raping the corpse of amiga trying to make money off ancient disks and roms that care about anyone posting files.
 
And another thing to the moderators. You better start checking everyone's signatures. I just download abandonware from people's sites all the time. I get those links from their sites, which are usually in their signatures.
 
Someone IS being a bit unfair to franko, that is for certain.

If you want to apply rules, they must apply to all here.

Anyone who complained about your site is probably one of the people still trying to rob the grave of amiga. (or they have close friends who are those people)
 
These people will never concede it, but no one can prove ownership of anything like amiga roms or wb 1.x-3.x. They never prove they own anything, merely say "prove I don't own it." which is a bullshit argument.
 
If I own something, a car a house, I can certainly show proof of ownership and would if there was ever any question. The same would go for any business holdings I have.
 
Never once has any of these people claiming ownership proven ownership of either os roms, source, names, trademarks, patents.
 
NEVER. Not once. Now they may sue each other and claim ownership, but never has anyone really challenged any of their claims.
 
The rights have transferred so many times and most of those contracts are no longer valid because many of the parties do not exist.
 
In regards to AINC especially, illegal and unlawful transfer of ownership from shell to shell would negate their legal claims. Look it up.
A decent lawyer would destroy them in court.
 
Amiga IP transferred so many times, no one can legally prove ownership of anything. If they tell you otherwise, I have an attorney who can surely prove otherwise.
 
In regard to the games, I think a message saying if anyone objects to their content being hosted here, merely email me and it will be taken down as soon as I receive the email is suffecient. The truth is, most people don't object. Like I said, its only the amiga grave robbers that cry and
complain and always try and start trouble.
 
As far as A.org having liability. Placing a notice in the terms of service stating that if you post pirate/commercial links YOU are responsible not A.org, thats suffecient to cover themselves legally. This is a bullshit argument for siding with the grave robbers. (no offense)
 
Franko...
Care to mirror your old site? I have alot of bandwidth I'm not using and great bulldog lawyer.

Good for you Franko.
 
Some of us see right through the source of this trouble for you.
 
I will gladly donate hosting space for your files, an ftp mirror, legal services in the united states, or anything else I can provide to help you.
 
You've got the grave robbers running scared. Good for you.
Its about time we all started standing up to the grave robbers.

Quote from: jorkany;613690
I guess Hyperion didn't have a decent lawyer then, otherwise instead of a settlement there would have been a judgment against AInc. Or is the settlement an example of Ben Hermans generosity?

 
Read all the court documents. Hyperion's lawyers never challenged AINC's lawful ownership of IP, trademark or copyrights. That may have been a costly adventure to their cause in the end.
