Topaz 8 available for only 20€!

See this.

("Amiga Scene" seems to be used as a kind of place for everything Amiga related, [and not to the Amiga demo scene], so that's why I post here. Feel free to move it if necessary.)

My question is: Do these guys have the right to charge for the font?

Not that I'm on a "defend the Amiga trademark" bandwagon, nor "defend the crappy Topaz8 font" bandwagon, in fact I'm in the infantry.

Just thinking, either it should be free, or sold by (who is it that owns the brand again and doesn't do shit with it?) ahh! legal owner.

Not a biggie. But. Thoughts?

[Edit: 'November' on 1001freefonts.com seems... similar]

20 € ? Well that alone is a ripoff, but I also doubt they have the rights to sell it. That said I might be wrong and someone (*cough* Amiga Inc *cough*) is desperate for money
