Hey Alex was just looking at this thread and yeah know what you mean about pheonix (Epic in Amiga mags) and i thought the graphics / style of the ebay adverts looked familiar

The fuck wih that guy. That shit iis illegal everywhere, even in HMV.

sarek2k · 09 March 2005, 19:47

DUPLICATED or COPIED EMULATOR MEDIA IS ILLEGAL YES!!
This one is NEITHER.

ha ha it's getting funny now lol

as far as i remeber you are not allowed to sell roms on the same media as the emulator wheather it be silver masterd disc or 20p cdr media it's exactly the same thing putting a fancy label on it dosent make it legal. Also just about every coder who makes an emulator dosen't want it distributed with roms!

hey! Amigastuff looks EXACTLY like www.amigagames.co.uk (NOTE - NOT the great forum! amigagames.com!)

And if anyone wants to try somet... its possible to order MINUS copies, so you'd infact GAIN money from these robbing bast**s!

*note- HMV DID sell these cd's, both the Amiga, C64, and Spectrum ones

"DUPLICATED or COPIED EMULATOR MEDIA IS ILLEGAL YES!!

Geez this dude is a fuckhead. what the fuck does it mean duplicated or copied??

that would apply if you bought a commercially licensed emulator such as Amiga Forever but it seems to me that these cds of his are just downloaded and burnt at home.

are we sposed to think its a legit cd becuase it has a fuckin sticker on it??

i bet if you bought this emulator product the first message you'd get when you booted it up would be
"NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION WITH ROMS"

dipshit

alexh · 09 March 2005, 23:53

I think he's trying to claim they are "silver" ones.

Firthy2002 · 10 March 2005, 00:15

Getting some silvers pressed ain't exactly difficult.

Peanutuk · 10 March 2005, 00:28

He's full of crap like the rest of them. Chances are he has no idea what he is selling and is merely reselling anything that those 'drop shippers' will supply. If people keep complaining he will be suspended for repeatedly relisting items that he has been warned not to list. Once removed all previous closed auctions are removed from the site too.

Amiga1992 · 10 March 2005, 00:43

I hope he does get suspended

girv · 14 March 2005, 02:23

OK so I've got a couple of WHDLoad installers ready for release, but I'd like to release them with a licence that prohibits distribution on sold-for-profit compilation CDs like these ones while still allowing free distribution otherwise.

Any suggestions for the wording? I have some in mind but I'd like to hear others' ideas first

sarek2k · 14 March 2005, 02:27

yeah like "NOT TO BE SOLD ON EBAY AT ANY COST!"
that would be the best start! and paste it all over the files

girv · 14 March 2005, 02:38

oooh, subtle

Amiga1992 · 14 March 2005, 03:37

Or
"NOT TO BE SOLD BY CUNTS ON EBAY. PROSECUTION AND CASTRATION WILL BE ENFORCED."

I'm not mcuh into legal terms but my girl's parents are lawyers and I can ask them if you want.

Have you checked any of the Creative Commons licenses? I think WHDLoad installers should be released under one of their licenses, see if they have one for you or any WHDLoad nistall maker to use:

woody57 · 14 March 2005, 03:54

How about " If you paid for this file you have been CONNED " nobody likes to think they have been made a fool of

Castration + law = lots of trouble :-D
