Just by checking your web site, and seing the games that are sold without manuals (and BTW, manuals are required to run that game) tells you much about amiga market nowdays. How many real amigas will run in next decade? So market will get smaller, and sooner or later it will end.

Sure, you are holder of the right for software, and it is your right to ask for it to be removed from the FTPs. I do support your decission, but just I can't understand your logic.

I think I remember when you (or someone simillar) were the reson DOpus was removed from AIAB couple of years ago.

Again, I'm not against abandonware. I really don't care if you leech that. The games you mention that are for sale on my site are for collectors mainly, or people that just want to have a smashing nice bookshelf with classic games that is sure to spawn off interesting discussions. But why don't you look at the new software which is actually produced today, such as Audio Evolution or some of the games released this side of 2000? Or the hardware that companies that Individual Computers for instance make?

And as for the comment about AIAB, I urge you to take a look here where Magellan IS included. Granted, it is a demo version. Check out Credits, the Amiga links or what have you. I can tell you I have gotten quite a few of inquiries about buying Magellan for AmiKit, unfortunately at this time that is not possible due to technical problems which will be fixed as soon as humanly possible.

As to my logic, ofcourse I hope that Amigas will never die, but they do. Hopefully OS4 and related hardware will fix that situation in the future, but from your comments I assume you haven't followed the recent developments with new OS releases and so on.

Yes I understand that.. but it is not a gift if they can already get it for free from the developer website, to me it's a kick in the teeth!!

You don't understand..

@Methodgit.. Press the English button on the left

Anubis · 16 March 2006, 17:57

So should I pay now for downloading DOTC or latter?

@AndreasM - Having right to include game in your news paper is not the same as having all of the rights. But not sure if you're inteligent enough to understand that.

@GuruMeditation - Sorry, but I can't understand logic behind your company. Some people here are putting many hours in products that they are offering back to community, but that's their own will. Thanks for explanation. I use version 4, as I dislike newer version.

On OS4 - you are right, I don't follow it, nor I will. That is not my vision of Amiga.

Thank you for your explanations.

Hmmm, strange. I swear I definitely clicked "English" the last time I went to the site and the subsequent store, only for the list to still be in german! Not sure if it was a cache problem or something....

jrom · 16 March 2006, 18:22

Oh no... not this story all over again... *sigh*

i never write that we have the complete rights from this game! why you think this??? i write only that this game are not freeware. bippym have many of OUR software on his ftp server. that the problem!! not a game what we release on our covercd.

NOB · 16 March 2006, 18:34

@Bippym: maybe you should rename this thread in marketplace.

jrom · 16 March 2006, 18:36

I think what Da Bipstah means is why he isn't allowed to put that game up for download on his FTP. It's also freely available on the Cinemawarez website... does it state anywhere that he needs a licence to distribute that game on his FTP.

NOB · 16 March 2006, 19:00

And i think this thread has changed into an advertising
thread for APC-TPC software.

Oh mans .. It is strange .. We really think, that this 'legal' words and polemics help to amiga ? Who will want pay for buggy stuff and hardware over fully working mac/pc with free (of course not legal) software ? I understand developers, i understand all who want money, but i understand users (who i am) too. Amiga - dead. Software - dead. Do not pirace it ? Ok. Smart step. Hope it give someone one or two dollaars.

As i said before , no problem do not ditribute software and games which still in stock.
But for all others ?

2 bippym
i Just currios, you was opening ftp with warez, and think that all said to you thanks ?
and you hope here is no agayn and agayn this sucking problems with dead computer for nostalgi ? Mans, did you think that here is no more ftp warez, or users copy amiga stuff (if still) to friends for money ??

Why need lair to himself and think about money from good,old,dead computer ?

i think, for not aviable software is this not a problem. is illegal but the only way to become the software.

kas1e · 16 March 2006, 19:18

andreas, for new software - of course.
for example i think here is some software which must be no warezed - ibrowse (becouse it is really in develop, have page, bugtrack system, etc). And .. and .. and it's all ?

AmigaOS4.0 too, must be no warezed. Somethink more ?

I think list of 'must be no piracy becouse in dev' will be very short.

yes, but dont forget the old software support new software.
at this moment are many software in development and the coders need the money from the old software.

as example: the complete money what we make with our software used to release new software.

kas1e · 16 March 2006, 19:33

Andreas, of course i understand that developers want money, and without money no any software. But also i understand users side. If author of some product do not work on his product now, and still want money from old (and buggy of course) programm, i will not want to pay him, becouse it is not give anythink (for amiga) except some dollars for author (who in any case will not work on amiga, why amiga will no arise or somethink like this (if)). Only for new, really in dev software it can be understand by user side. So. I am as user do very easy result - i check google, readme from archive, etc. If here is no site, words like 'sorry, i do not work for amiga anymore', but with it tons words about 'crime/piracy' - its just smell like .. like somethink

I also can understand if someone will take some amiga programm and port it to some computer for money, or somethink like this - yes. copyrigth,bla,bla. But for users on amiga _for present day_. Where is someone can take words about crime and piracy ?

btw, 10 years ago, i was write a game for old computer zx-spectrum. So, must i now go to the zx-specturm conference, and said : hey ! we all will be in jail ! crime and piracy suck ! give me more this pleasure dollars for my game ! ?
