Yeah. Franko's hardly the only offender in that department, though.

No I'm not singling out anyone. Besides, Franko gives me laugh more often than not.
But Franko, you're last few comments about the "community" you've come to join are off base.
Yeah, I know... you probably don't care what I think. If you did you wouldn't be Franko.

Methinks Franko got royally and legally buttfucked and removed disk images :roflmao:

As for pirating Amiga Forever.....lol don't make me laugh....there are far better pre-installed setups that run better and simpler.

You know my respect for some people here has really disappeared (not talking about Franko) i never knew you were such brainless zombie mouthing the same thing over and over again and your childish remarks and behavior has me baffled even my 6 yo wouldn't do some of the things you people do.

I like a good argument as much as anyone but this is plain stupidity, reminds me of a school yard where there is always one chump head and his little followers trying to bully everyone else.

But since your all legal experts earning millions a year then you must be right.......

Seems instead he found this group wasn't worth the effort of an argument.

How about an edit on the rest of that mess before someone warms up the report button?

Who really gives a -=Moderated=- about workbench disks? Serisously...talk about outdated, outclassed museum pieces. One would think that the original sources were being distributed. May Aros 68K get ironed out and put all of these issues under. May Aros x86 continue to thrive. And may any two bit copyright holder of whatever burn in the face of open sourced Aros derivatives. What a joke.....And I say this as a workbench floppy disk purchaser from dealers and Amiga Forever purchaser up to version 2011. I say it as a multiple 68K machine operator, a WinUAE operator. What a joke... Back in the day when Commodore was still alive, there was no thought of lawyers. Now the prime directive in post Commodore Amiga-land is all legalese -=Moderated=-. What a joke. Does one see this in the post Commodore 8bit world? Nope. How about the post Atari world? Nope. How about the post MS-DOS world? Nope. Go into Amiga land and one can traverse mountain upon mountain of defecation. What a joke. Amiga is not that great. It isn't. Even all modern attempts at resurrecting it means to eventually be limited by the API, or whatever... What the hell is so great about Amiga anymore? Seriously.... What a joke. Talk about taking any and all fun out of things. Amiga is old school, it will never ever come back beyond the legalistic hobby market it tries living in. It is dead. I operate these blasted machines and I am almost getting sick of it all. It is almost time for a mega ebay auction... What a joke..... This is the most -=Moderated=- operating system from a political standpoint that exists. Lawyers are -=Moderated=-. Is this hard to comprehend? Courts are the same. Is this such a stretch of the imagination? It is almost time to create a new Amiga. Its own code. Its own trademarks or copyrights. A bozo staff of 100 lawyers can work 24/7 fighting all of the legal battles sure to ensue. What a joke.

That's where I think you are wrong..
You are assuming that a "Copyright Law" is ONLY the part of the law that involves copying..

I'm not assuming anything. DMCA doesn't cover copying. Using DeCSS is a DMCA violation even when you are using original DVD's.

It's no hope as you're purposefully misunderstanding what the act says because you want to win an argument.

I guess you don't know about all the pirates that were busted in those days. It wasn't the people who copied games who got raided, it was the ones operating pobox numbers who were involved in large scale piracy.

Putting adf's on a web page isn't the same as two kids swapping games and copying them at home. One nobody even knows about, while putting prominent links on a public site is going to get noticed real quick.

Have we learnt who owns anything? If Clonato have the license to release Workbench in AF and are so well loved by whoever owns Amiga OS, then it would be easier for them to release Amiga OS Floppies, and I mean floppies, for us classic users with broken discs that didnt make a backup or lost it! Clonato would be happy at making £5 / £10 an OS. We would be happy that we could buy a new copy! Simples!?

Fraggle1 · « **Reply #387 on:** May 20, 2011, 01:30:21 PM »

I disagree that this thread has been a waste of time.
It has at least shown that there are those willing to speak up against the 'grave robbers' who are ripping off REAL Amiga users. My regards to those people, & thankyou.

As for the rest ? Well, they have nothing to say & they're damned well going to say it.
Make a statement - ANY statement - & there are those here who will pick it apart because they are experts in EVERYTHING & they know better. If it's 100% technically correct then they'll make a huge issue about some minor mistake of grammar. Or anything, in fact.

I tell you, if God were a member of this forum, there'd be those who tell him they could have designed the Chaffinch better, that the sky doesn't work properly, or that under certain, artificially engineered lighting conditions, (that can only exist for 1000th of a second) the colour of fruitflies infringes US patent #32460787841743509679646 (1903).
Screw 'em.

This is very true. I normally try to avoid the piracy talk but I will say there's a difference between kids swapping games that are being sold, and people downloading said game 20 years later for a platform that has been dead for who knows how long.

I know it's copyright infringement either way, but they'd be damn hard pressed to show what losses were incurred because you downloaded Shadow of the Beast for the amiga.
