Hi Franko

I am not 100% sure about this, but I think Amiga Forever now own rights to the Amiga Kickstart Roms, they were included on the purchased CD / DVD.

Some of the games are still copyright by there original owners eg.

Team 17, Psygnosis (Sony), Electronic Arts, Cinemaware http://www.cinemaware.com/ .

Take a look at Back to the Roots website http://www.back2roots.org/ they have a policy on the site if a game or image is copyright and it belongs to you, contact them and they will remove the file.

Might be an idea to speak to Lemon Amiga admins http://www.lemonamiga.com/ admins as they have a ton of Electronic Arts games on thier site.

PS Commodore Scotland is a nice site well done mate.  :)

I know Team 17 gave their amiga stuff away for free online, but I doubt they want it to be resold. The rest, likely didn't.

@ Fats

Your entitled to your opinion fats but for the reasons already given things shall remain as they are on my site until someone who holds the copyrights to whatever contacts me directly and points outs their objections properly & in full... :)

@ Duce

Already emailed them but received no reply.... :)

@ Transition

The Link to my site has been here since I started my site and anyone who visits it and happens across the downloads page are clearly warned that any software they download is only for the purpose of replacing damaged software/floppies that they legally own and have no other way to purchase a replacement or back up of their legally owned software. At the end of the day as I've already said when the appropriate people respond to my site & it's contents then I shall decide what action to take... :)

@ All

We all have our opinions on this subject and I think I have made mine quite clear on the matter, so until I receive an "official" complaint from a copyright holder then things on the site shall remain as is. If you don't like "Piracy" then fine but to me when something like these old pieces of software have no other way to be obtained legally and easily then it's time all this nonsense was brought out into the open and cleared up finally one way or the other... :)

It's seems to me only certain people here actually care about calling what I'm doing as "Piracy", I as most will know am quite new to the net and find it really quite strange that folk hold such views on old Amiga software, when in my short time on the net I have easily found hundreds of site where the same stuff can be downloaded and by the looks of things have been doing so for years or can be constantly bought on ebay on DVD & CD collections which ebay only remove when a complaint is made and about two hours later the stuff is re-listed again.

I do not make any money from this and wouldn't even attempt to do so to me doing that is "piracy" it costs me money every month to keep my site running and advert free and to me it's far better that folk are able to download stuff from sites such as mine rather than going to the likes of ebay and helping someone make a pretty penny from this old software by actually paying for these DVD/CD collections... :)

Why are folk here not complaining about all the other sites on the net where all this software can be downloaded and only mine is being complained about, seems a bit odd that to me... :)

I dont have a dog in this race but, to be fair, the people who moderate this site has a reasonable right to what they think is okay, what with them moderating the site and all :)

I never said they didn't Runequester, I respect the mods on this site and if they ask me to remove something then of course I will... :)

I just personally think it's high time this subject was brought out into the open and debated reasonably once and for all, there's no point in sticking you head in the sand and pretending that such things don't happen... :)

I dont disagree in principle, but these discussions tend to never go well ;)
 
Not that that ever stopped anybody ;)

I don't think from what I have seen in my short time here most discussions ever go as planned on this site, but at least here we are allowed to voice our opinions without much censorship which a few other sites should take note of and learn from... :)

Just proves how much of a child he (dammy) is, ofcourse since he doesn't have the intellect to argue with you what else can you expect.

I've not been online here much tonight as I've been having to answer more emails and members questions on my site tonight about who this Dammy guy is and what his agenda is all about...

In the past 24 hours I've received more visitors and emails than I normally get in an entire month... :)

So I've explained to these folk just who DAMMY (MR RANDY VICE) is and given all contact details I have about him out to these very angry people, so that they can contact MR VICE himself and express their views directly to him... :)

If at the end of the day Randy wishes to continue with his little vendetta and I have to remove certain links then the homepage on my site shall contain all contact details for Mr Vice where folks can take the matter up directly with him, as this will save me having to reply to all these folk individually. From most of the emails I've received I wouldn't like to be in his shoes from the things folk have to say about him... :) (some very angry & scary folk out there)

Oh well, it's not my problem if Randy wishes to put himself in this position, just hope for his sake that some of the things folk have said about him don't come true... :)

Yet you spent the time and money for anonymous domain registration?  



Why would I even bother sending you an email?  I wouldn't bother to email you Mr.Pirate, who is costing Cloanto sales.  I would send it to abuse@names.co.uk and to Pyro that your spamming your pirate wares site on his site.  But I haven't because Pyro seems to feel comfortable with you promoting your pirate site.


Really? I thought that CUSA is promoting Franko instead: No need to bother with floppy disks, as practically every game you ever owned is now readily available on the internet. Source: http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_OS.aspx .

@Franko

I really like this sentence: All files available here [...] to be downloaded if you own the original software. Source: http://www.commodorescotland.com/#/downdloads/4544411715 . Well, I own MOS 2.x and AOS4.x, would you be kind hosting a digital image of the above mentioned OSes in case my CDs fail?
