My guess is, they will remove it because they should.

You are basically doing an end-around of Cloanto who have done what they should and gotten rights to distribute (and likely had to pay for those rights).

If you intend to distribute it is your duty to get permission from the rights holder(s). if you can't, then you cant distribute legally. End of story. The statement 'I did all I could to try to get it and no one responded or gave it to me' doesn't give you rights by omission. Lack of rights = lack of rights no matter how hard you tried and wether you received a negative response or no response at all.

In short, when seeking rights to distribute, the lack of a response does not equate to an affirmative response.


No one is doing an end around Cloanto.  Cloanto is not the only ones with a right to distribute Amiga OS.  Is Hyperion doing an end around Cloanto too then?  They are distributing AmigaOS.  An updated version at that!  Are they trying to screw Cloanto?

Petro gave permission for Workbench 3.0 long ago to be distributed free.  So he can at least put that up legally.

I don't mind being called copyright maffia; I will report you if you put material on your site you don't have permission to distribute.

greets,
Staf.



Hopefully you'll have some proof instead of basely accusations and assumptions I assume when you report him?  I thought not.
