The CD really is free, it is not included in the price. I buy packs of 50 at a time, and it only costs me about AUD$0.27 per CD from memory, so it's no big deal. As for the software, I don't think any of it is PD, freeware etc. Before you start frothing at the mouth , keep in mind that many (if not all) of the people that produced the software no longer exist, or exist in a different form, and have no interest or stake in Amiga at all (and haven't for quite some time). It is software that I have downloaded from the net over time, for my own use. Once I had collected quite a few games etc, I thought why not share this, and save people some time, as obviously it takes a while to find and download hundreds of files. Now, since I am NOT selling the software on the CD, or even the CD itself, I am NOT depriving anyone of income, royalties for their work etc, etc. So all the usual arguments about "software piracy" etc, simply don't apply in this case. However, if I get too much of a headache/complaints about the free CD, I'll stop offering it. It's just a way of saying "thank you" to the people that buy stuff from me. There are some games on there (the Cinemaware ones) that are 100% legal, as they offer them for download from their website (God bless them)...
