Highly doubt a lawyer would have that email address. Consequently, tell them to piss off.

Tell them to contact Commodore Amiga Iran with any legal disputes ;)

If the email did not come from someone specified as legal council from wherever it came, and it did not mention specifics on exactly copyright infringing you supposedly did (specific title/software names) - tell them to stop uttering threats and wasting your time.
 
Looks like a troll to me. No company in their right mind would send such a thing without providing more information directly from their legal reps.
 
Ask them to mail you the proper and specific paperwork like they should have to start with if they believe you are infringing on their assets.

Its worth adding that copyright infringement, at least in the US, is a civil matter, not a criminal matter. Hence, the email's gibber about jail time is nonsense.
 
Could be different in the UK of course.

Amiga Forever is fine if you're okay with buying pirated games along with your legit KS ROMs.

Seriously?
I thought it was just the kickstart itself and some emulation software?

I know Team 17 gave their amiga stuff away for free online, but I doubt they want it to be resold. The rest, likely didn't.

I dont have a dog in this race but, to be fair, the people who moderate this site has a reasonable right to what they think is okay, what with them moderating the site and all :)

I never said they didn't Runequester, I respect the mods on this site and if they ask me to remove something then of course I will... :)
 
I just personally think it's high time this subject was brought out into the open and debated reasonably once and for all, there's no point in sticking you head in the sand and pretending that such things don't happen... :)

I dont disagree in principle, but these discussions tend to never go well ;)
 
Not that that ever stopped anybody ;)
