JUST BECAUSE YOU CANT GET HOLD OF THE OWNERS OR THEY NOT REPLYING DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE LEGAL RIGHT TO HOST THE SOFTWARE.
So it doesn't give you the legal right. So what? Who cares? The law isn't the highest good.

Well no matter what anyone here has to say about trying to put me off doing this, it's too late as I have gone ahead and started, I have given enough chances for anyone that has a legitimate claim to have their say and not one peep have I had in response... :)

It cannot be said that no mods here on this site have not checked out this thread (they have as I have been keeping tabs on it) and so they had their chance to warn or advise me if it would be ok for me to do so as I asked in the first post and in other posts... maybe they just don't want to get involved but you can't say I didn't ask... :)

Anyway I'll be adding more stuff for download and shall just sit back, wait and see, if anyone with a legitimate claim steps forward and asks me to stop or threatens legal action which they shall have to prove first and then shall I decide whether I shall challenge it in  a court of law... :)

I sincerely hope someone does come forward as I would like to clear up for myself and the Amiga community once and for all, if indeed anyone still has the legal rights to the Workbench disk sets and so we will all know who is really responsible for hoarding them and generally not making them available to those who really want them and can put them to good use whether it be for free or at a price... :)

At the end of the day there isn't much they can do to me in legal terms that would actually bother me if they choose to go that route, money well they wont get a lot out of me, assets... ditto, jail time... wont be the first time and at my age I really couldn't care less... :)

So only time will tell now... watch this space... :)

Thought it only fitting to kick off AmigaUK.com with something that is really Amiga only related... :)

CommodoreScotland.com will follow shortly as I need to do a lot of editing and shuffling things about first... :)

The files should reside on the same server that your website resides on (geocities by the looks of them, heh).

Otherwise, you are simply linking to the files in the same manner as a google search, which makes this whole thread pointless.

The mediafire link does not work (at least it hasn't worked correctly for me).

Personally this is more like the "getting hit over the head" room for me.

Correction - Its only the install disk that won't download correctly.

Firstly I haven't a scooby doo about what your saying "geocities" whasat !!!

All files on my my sites have to be downloaded from my account on mediafire as that's the only way it works with sitemaker... :)

The only space I have for storage on my sites is used by any gfx that I have to upload for use on my sites. So I don't see what your point is, I have uploaded them and almost 10,000 other files to mediafire (which my site members have been happily using for quite some time now with no complaints) and made them available to easily find and download... :)

So what is the pointless point your trying to make here... :confused:
