Almost correct in your assumption but not quite... ;)

You see this thread became nothing more than the usual armchair experts in all things copyright and legal experts in their own minds, posting the usual repetitive drivel on their own "expert" (but highly flawed) interpretations of the various copyright/ trademark laws, as usual they failed to even comprehend the original topic and question... :(


I would say the opposite is true.  You are the one who didn't understand the legal aspects and had to back down, not the "armchair experts."

Well, if you would look on the main page, there's a gentleman who just dug his A1000 out of his mom's basement and has no kickstart or workbench disks.  He's looking for one, but I'm pretty sure just asking for one violates the sites TOS for "NO WAREZ."  He would prefer not to steal.  As would I.  So, if you are saying that owning a classic Amiga forces your hand, well...that sucks!  This is the reason Franko started this thread, not because he is an attention whore, as Koftader stated here and on Moobunny, but because people deserve to be able to legally obtain proper disks for their classic machines.  So, to answer your question -- it is not common knowledge, and even if it were, does not make it right.


I don't get it, how will Franko offering pirated wares going to help this guy when he obviously needs Amiga formatted disk with WB on them?   Some how I can't Franko offering to send people Amiga formatted disk with WB on them that too many people would be complaining about it because:

1. Only an Amiga would be able to use it (minus catweasle or other floppy controller/emulator owners).

2. It that format, pirates wouldn't be interested in it.

Too much work for Franko and he doesn't get the instant gratification of having his name talked about a million times, hence no ego stroke.  Quick PM to the user looking for it for an address to send the disk to, and it's all done and finished.  Can't have that, no one would be talking about Franko that way.
