Those -=Moderated=- are at it again i really hope they get bankrupted useless products for people to lazy to work out how to use winuae. They can't prove anything to your Domain host so they go for easy target like mediafire.
This is really showing how petty and stupid they are, hmmm can't but imagine will not look good for the people who actually buy their crap to be associated with such a small time company.

What a massive sense of entitlement some folks around here have.

Yes, I totally agree.

Their understanding of the laws (or lack thereof) is amazing too.

I wouldn't have anything to do with Cloantos even pirating their crap would be a waste of bandwidth and time.
Do you get the last email i sent you hope it helps.

P.S. The whole DVD is easily downloaded from anywhere anyway and if you have any problems then "don't" contact me because I "can't" help you.

And Amigadave i like you and all BUT what law??
Do Craptos own the rights to workbench??? If so why haven't they made them available to buy or as a free download for classic Amiga users, everyone keeps forgetting we are not talking about setting up WINUAE on a PC or Mac, we are talking about CLASSIC AMIGA'S and i for one want to have original WB disks.
Remember i have the originals but a few of the disks don't work anymore so i do have a RIGHT to have a replacement if they are claiming ownership then as a business they have to honour the disk and software that was already bought and provide me with a means to get new WB sets.

P.S. But we all know they can't do that as they have no rights to anything except the useless crap for windows (which anyone with a brain can do after all most of us HAVE Classic Amiga and can copy YOUR Kickstarts to the PC for your own use and if you don't have them, then it will be cheaper to buy the relevant kickstarts from an Amiga retailer.)

You know, I didn't start following this with any ill will towards Cloanto, but nothing says "sniveling brown-noser" like switching targets when you're called on to produce evidence...

Actually believe or not me neither BUT they are starting to really bug me I find what they are doing petty like a bully boy trying to argue with a smart kids but being dumb has no come back or eloquence to argue so they resort Threats or violence knowing full well they aren't bright enough to argue and have no leg to stand on.

I have now been in touch with MediaFire to inform them that later today my Solicitors will be demanding from them proof of the legitimacy of Cloantos complaint and if no proof has been provided then I shall instruct my Solicitors to begin taking legal action against all parties involved here...

Franko... are you just using the free MediaFire service, or do you have a paid contract with them? If it is the free service (and even if it's not) are they actually obliged to host any legal file? Perhaps they're within their legal rights to decline to host specific files, even if said files haven't been proven to be illegal?
 
Just thinking that this could be a loophole, perhaps to get round it you'd need to be hosting the files on your own webspace?

It's a sorry and very sad state of affairs when a company like Cloanto who produces PC software goes to all this bother to prevent remaining Amiga users from being able to enjoy their hobby in relative peace. Obviously just for the sake of making money from PC users and are quite happy to tread all over genuine Amiga hardware users in the process, all this just to make a quick buck despite the damage it causes to real Amiga enthusiasts...

You sir are talking out of your -=Moderated=-. Cloanto has been contributing to Amiga since 1986. They even have their own directory in aminet. They've released their Amiga software for free (including the excellent Personal Paint). Just the cloanto web page alone is an invaluable source information, say for example http://www.amigaforever.com/tutorials/migration/

Your attempts to paint them as some evil PC guys is laughable.

Why thank you sir for your usual laughable trite remarks...

You didn't refute any of those remarks. Why not?

As for Cloanto trying to prevent your copyright infringement.. They're protecting their investment. I would do the same.

Some points:

1. I would like little more than to see Amiga Inc. F'ked over.

BUT

2. The TOS of this site clearly state "No Warez", and we have all abided by these rules for over 10 years!
3. Cloanto have done nothing wrong.
4. Cloanto have helped the Amiga community far more than Franko and his extremely selfish, "If I don't care, it doesn't matter" attitude.
5. The "Copyright Police" as they are being refered to in this thread, are probably the last people to actually contribute anything to the Amiga platform.

I have to say I think Franko is being a -=Moderated=-, he could have worked with Cloanto and figured out how to resolve this (as I have stated many times already), but no, he decides to use the very method that he criticised C=USA for using.

Why are you being such a-=Moderated=-? Eh?
