I think that the fact that everything "Amiga" can be obtained on 5 little polycarbonate discs is far more disturbing...

It is probably no 'all' things amiga in existance. But it is surely a substantial lot.

But I do not find it disturbing to all be on a few dvd's. Storage capacities are advancing rapidly. The software devoloped for amiga was mainly carried by DD 3.5" disks. Since classic amiga software development came to a standstill you can expect all things amiga to fit on one single data carrier in the future. Not disturbing, but progress.

Animagic,

Thanks.  That clarifies how it got out.  It was stolen from when we used to have a Cafepress store.

I now have the Amiga.org logo as a published copyright with ebay through their Vero program.  Please take a moment to search ebay and let me know if this is still happening, so I can send in complaints and get the pirates booted.

I realize that I may be alone on this. This is actualy a good way to perserve some amiga software that may become lost.  If a publisher has isses with those dvd's they should do something, fact is most publishers have moved on and could care less if the software lost for ever.  Amix is just about lost becasue if this. I'm amazed that they can sell this and hope that more people can be turned onto cool amiga software.  The window of oppertunity to make real money off the amiga is long gone! (most of that stuff is now abandon ware).  Hey I understand it upsetting that somebody stole your logo but it may have brought some new people to this site.  I just think at this point in history we should be happy to see amiga stuff, some of it hase to be pirited becasue the origional owners and long gone while there are still new users showing up! Man I wish I could get a Mami lic, or a MUI key, but it aint gonna happen is it....  O.k. now go ahead and hate me...  

peace.

I noticed this the other day :( Some guys on the English Amiga Board a while ago were talking about the piracy on eBay. They reported it to eBay and I think it was removed from the listings.

I guess it’s up to the webmaster to ask eBay to remove the Amiga.org banner if he wants to, I certainly would. I think there’s more than one guy using the banner on eBay btw.

Edit:Another Logo Thief!



Didn't even know there was an English Amiga grp...  will check that out... any web address please?

I think you'll find that one's a hare - not a rabbit!!!!  
Hares run faster than rabbits, and as it's about fast ram
I imagine they would use a hare!!!!

Sorry to be pedantic - now there's a bit word for such an
early hour of Friday morning!!!

Amiga DVDs

Another lot. Interestingly enough this collection contains NightLong. The seller specifically states:

"Note to ebay staff: The version of software contained on this CD is public domain."

Nightlong is PD?!? If so where can I get it from?

I doubt the validity of those claims. That DVD set also contains T-Zero, Wasted Dreams and Earth 2140. I know some of those are still sold by Amiga dealers. The guy is just bullsh!ting.
