AndreasM. Your site is also "illegal" as you offer software on CD which is not public domain. Plenty of Amiga demos show quite clearly they are not to be considered public domain, and I very much doubt you have permission for them.
Not that I care, but since you are pointing fingers. |

And by the way: The German law knows no "Public Domain". There is only the German "Urheberrecht", not really comparable with the US "Copyright".
In this case: Every demo author holds automatically the full rights on his programme. The right never dies, it's only hereditable. There is no need for a rights info box or something. If you release/sell it without his permission it's indeed illegal. Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 21 December 2008 at 19:08. |

yes and no. the user can never loose his copyright, but he can make his software to public domain with the §31 UrhG.

The thing is, people generally don't mind, but as you make life so hard for everyone else, it is important that you understand this. |

You surely understand that it is rather impossible that someone could get distribution rights for 16,000 amiga demos? of course one could assume that "most" are public domain. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you are intentionally "not understanding the point". What you are doing selling other peoples work, no matter how much you are selling it for, is no better or different from someone selling your work without permission. |

The thing that annoys me about all of this, is AndreasM is the first to send threats via email to anyone who hosts the old software he still sells, but can't admit there is a possibility (actually a likelihood) he himself is breaching copyright too.
But what did I expect anyway! I shouldn't waste time with things like this! I got a Great Effects Development and APC-TCP torrent archive to sort out ;-) |

I got permission from great effects development to host all apc-tcp software. Please contact them if there are any copyright issues. Thanks!
