Workbench Disk Sets... What Would Be The Best Way To Obtain Them...

I may not see eye to eye with Franko on a lot of things, but, this is a good thing he is doing.

We haven't agreed in the past but on this topic, we are in complete agreement

Well, if they have the rights and can back it up, all is well.

If they don't, then they've been ripping people off on false premises.

I guess you don't know about all the pirates that were busted in those days. It wasn't the people who copied games who got raided, it was the ones operating pobox numbers who were involved in large scale piracy.
 
Putting adf's on a web page isn't the same as two kids swapping games and copying them at home. One nobody even knows about, while putting prominent links on a public site is going to get noticed real quick.

This is very true. I normally try to avoid the piracy talk but I will say there's a difference between kids swapping games that are being sold, and people downloading said game 20 years later for a platform that has been dead for who knows how long.


I know it's copyright infringement either way, but they'd be damn hard pressed to show what losses were incurred because you downloaded Shadow of the Beast for the amiga.

What about if it was available on virtual console/xbox live/psn?

Easier to prove a loss I imagine as there's now an actual product involved.

Now, Im not sure how many xbox downloads they could show are lost because you downloaded the floppy version of a 20 year gone computer.

But at least we're sort of closer

When AROS is 1.0 Final, there may be a different landscape. It's time to stop letting stupid pride get in the way of the thing that brought us all together.

Nobody hates the amiga more than the amigans
