Breaking an EULA does not make a product illegal.  Breaking any contract does not render something illegal.  It is not illegal to run Mac OS X on any machine, even non-Apple ones.  It is, however, against the EULA, but even then there are limits to the EULA that can allow users to run Apple's OS on any platform, if you've ever read the actual EULA.

There are two ways to regulate data:

1) per-machine
2) per-user

Microsoft is solidly in the 1st method, with Palladium.  Genesi is for the 2nd, using user-identification to allow for DRM to be handled on a per-user basis.  Meaning that once you buy something, it's yours.  Like my copy of 1984 sitting right here that I just finished, I paid for it, so thereby I own it.  I do not own the copyright, but I own the book.

AOrg is an Amiga community website, not an Amiga, Inc website.  They even went so far as to get their own web hosting after Amiga, Inc started to put pressure on them to be AInc-exclusive.  It is to have material covering the whole gambit of the Amiga community, from UAE to even AmigaDE.  Heck, I've even seen things like the CommodoreONE or the XGamesStation on here quite a bit.  They all relate to the community, or are a part of the community, thereby they should be covered.  Genesi is part of the community, not only from it's employees (who are, for the most part, from older Amiga companies, including Commodore itself) but from it's direction, which was set out to include the community.  Sure, they don't have the brand name, but then again, neither did the Draco or the WonderTV, but they are still Amiga's in at least spirit if not name.

If AOrg were to go with strictly Amiga, Inc news, it would cut into a third of it's information.  No more news about 3D0, no more information about what Milan computers with it's Atari-clone is doing, won't hear a peep about Petro and his new business.  In short, we'd become a closed community, and closed systems suffer from entropy, a gradual decay to oblivion.  I'd rather keep things open, and sure I'd see stuff I'm not going to read (like the XGamesStation for good example) but there are stuff that I will read (like the C-ONE).  It makes things more interesting, and gives us a larger view of the world.  We Amigans are part of a greater world, and we must understand that only by seeing the similarities rather than the differences can we grow as a community again.
