Let me say I have nothing against Cloanto, I bought one copy of Amiga Forever and was gifted a newer one by a friend.

I have to agree, Cloanto is on shaky ground.

Just because they have a license to distribute, I don't believe that gives them the ability to file DMCA claims for instance.  That is a right the copyright holder has and (I think) it's legally punishable to file a DMCA notice on copyrights you knowingly don't own.

If they are just reporting to your ISP that you are making pirated software available, that's legal, but kind of a dick move given the current state of things.

I'd like to see who really has the copyright, it's a shame you almost have to bait people into court to prove it.

And by the way, personal paint blows. I'd rather be forced to use microsoft windows paint than that trainwreck.


Don't forget that TVPaint for Amiga was released for free by NewTek.  That's still one of my favs. I use the PC version, Aura, every day and other than Aura having animation it's very similar.

NewTek also released the source to the VT, CG, Flyer and DigiPaint when there was no more money in it as a nod to the community that got them where they are today.

THAT'S how it's done.
