Also, totally offtopic, but with that behemoth of an A1200T you have, Franko, how have you NOT gotten that thing on the net if you wanted to?


Kinda feel that putting my Amiga on the net is dirty in a weird sort of way... :)

Don't mind soiling these old macs with the net, but I think "Albert" that's my towered Miggies name (named of my old tortoise, gawd rest his/her soul) would be upset to read all the nasty things going on in AmigaLand... :)

Best let Albert think all's hunkey dorey in the world, methinks... :)

Exactly what software is in question of piracy?

Also one of the directors at c=usa is a lawyer and daughter of the main director :)

Well it could be the 8000+ Amiga Game ADF disk images... :)

Or

It could be the Workbench Disk Sets... :)

Or

It could be the Kickstart ROM images... :)

Not sure really he didn't say much... :)

It's the email address that makes no sense.
Everything at Amiga Inc. has always been:
[personalname]@amiga.com
This address has to be a joke, since it makes it look like a Commodore interest is working out of Amiga.com, no?

@ all
Thanks guys for the replies, much appreciated... :)

Anyway I've decided to ignore whomever the wee jobby is as he hasn't had the bottle to respond to an email I sent... :)

The Download page is now back up & running and if some wee crapbag want's to anonymously challenge me on it again then he'd better have something a bit more to say next time... :)

(hope it was a big company though, it's becoming my new hobby taking on the big boys and I haven't been involved in a good court case in years... :))

Let me know if you have any more issues.  I did a really interesting explosives course while I was in the army and I've never had the chance to try it out on a grand scale.  ;-)

Only Commodore branded games are their concern (were there even any for Amiga like in the VIC/C64/C16 days?) unless they own any old gaming companies. The rest is illegal yes :roflmao:

Just because the 'from:' bit is marked as commodore@amiga.com doesn't mean it came from there really either. You need the full path of the incoming message showing it was sent from a server on the Amiga.com domain.

You do have kickstart and workbench for download don't you? (not that I care but some people do get quite pissy about such things)

I'm glad people are starting to have the courage to leave workbench disks and roms online. Its ridiculous for anyone to cry about it. Usually its the people raping the corpse of amiga that care.
 
A side note Franko, I have been meaning to check out your files and I tried to download a few game disks. How do I open an lzx file?

Os3.9 lha-ram won't do it.
7zip on windows won't do it.
Xarchiver on linux won't work either?

@ haywirepc

You just need LZX (available on Aminet) just the same as LHA but better compression... :)

@ Digiman

Doesn't really matter now, if it's real then I'm up for the challenge if it's just some numptie, then who cares... :)

@KThunder

I ain't gonna argue over that, just reckon unless Workbench was still available and easy for folks to buy then it wouldn't be on my site, as far as I'm aware the only supposed legal way to purchase Workbench is on the Amiga forever disks and that's hardly fair if Amiga forever is no good to you... :)

@ Darrin

I'll take a pic of it in the morning, although that pic that nicholas put up has a pretty strong resemblance (it's just a big pussy)... :)

(and tory or not, I'll pay you anyday to blow the bugger to hell...:lol:)
