I really don't understand what koaftder & Fats hope to achieve. Maybe they think that if they stop people from copying Amiga software then the clock will turn back 20 years or so ?
Perhaps all those software houses that abandoned the Amiga in 1994 will change their minds & start supporting it again ? ROFLMAO ;-)

PS:Anybody got the original 1.3 disks, I've dug mine out but even after cleaning them they are full of errors and I can't make them into ADFs...

(been in a box for over 15 years, methinks their knackered...)

No he's not. He's already pulled this before and had to make a choice: a) remove the disk images off his site or b) pull the link to his site out of his signature and not talk about it on AO. He choose A. The situation isn't going to change. The only reason he's pulling this crap again is to troll the site. End of story. Why do people fall for this ?

What the does 'troll' mean anyway?

Yeah, that's not good. Floppies don't like long term storage. An occasional read helps preserve data as all reads rewrite existing data.

They just want everyone to understand that this is illegal, you know:

They're really just sad gits who for whatever reasons seem to think they can impose their delusional and high and mighty morals on the rest of us, to be honest I almost feel sorry for them... Nah... no I don't, I hope they fall head first into the bucket of keech they constantly spew and suffocate on their own jobbies... pair of weirdos...

It's about being consistent.

Do you think I could have any legitimate right to complain about people pirating my music or my apps if I could happily watch other people's IP being abused?

Personally I think there probably should be a special place in copyright law to cover software for machines that haven't been manufactured for 20 years... But that isn't the law. Someone owns the IP (crooks who should be behind bars), and they have rights.

Yours and their opinion. It isn't illegal or legal until their day in court. IMO!

I reported it because AO isn't a warez trading post, never was and never should be.

Not until someone attends "Court" you know that big building with the scales on....

I getting bored with this.

"crooks who should be behind bars"

And they deserve the same treatment as you or I?
Hey, you'd love the ACLU in my country.
They think consistency is so important that they go to court to secure the rights of local Nazis to demonstrate.

Odd that... there is nothing being traded here so you should be happy...

You must be proud of yourself  all over a rule others have abided by for a decade.

And how are you ever going to change the law to something like you describe if no-one takes a stance against the current laws and at least makes an attempt to highlight how absurd they are and hopefully bring about changes in them...

Were not talking here about you're stuff that you write and try to earn a few bob from, I would defend your stuff against either piracy or copyright theft, were talking like you say about stuff that's over 20 years old and it would seem no even the copyright owners give a toss about...

No it doesn't.
