Amiga Addict 'coverdisks'

[ipod_sock]

Hi all, forgive me if it's in the wrong thread (and Admin feel free to relocate) but just wondering if anyone had the complete collection of Amiga Addict 'coverdisks' - I only have No.14 which I've uploaded here SELF DELETED for you guys

And apologies in advance

Would be absolutely AWESOME if you could do a real mounted coverdisk one day

Should you be making these publicly available, what with the magazine still in publication?

Not sure it'll bite into their sales at all, seems quite a small specialist publication and only found it in a WH Smith in Manchester airport completely by chance.

I found it the other week in WhSmith in Bolton, was not expecting to see it there at all.
Not too bothered about making the coverdisk to go with each issue.

I think there's 15/16 issues now, you take a pic (using phone) of QR code and the adf downloads, wish I had the others like

The publisher is active here (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=104457 / PixelsAtDawn) so just ask for them?

I'm pretty sure these disks shouldn't be shared with none Amiga Addict buyers/subscribers

Which would be what the rules say too: http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?faq=eab..._ks_wb_faqitem

Hey folks, thanks for the debate. I actually took this away to discuss with the team because I didn't really know the right answer.

We do take pride in trying to get the best coverdisks we can, as well as getting some exclusive bits and pieces that aren't available elsewhere if at all possible. And we do hope it's an exciting bonus for people who take the time to support us, given the extremely tight margins we work against just keeping the mag afloat.

That said, we are part of the community and we want to keep things alive after the issues have come out, so how about this for a compromise? We'll make all the coverdisks available for download six months after publication, and people can download them direct from our website so it's all in one place. I think that's a decent middle ground, that way things are preserved and there's still a bonus for our readers. And if we're no longer around one day, I'll bump them all onto Aminet or archive.org.

I'll knock up a page on our site when I get the chance (I'm on holiday right now!)

Sounds like a great compromise to me

Much'os Apologies Sir respect the creation of and continued support and I need to sub or get down to WH Smith and get the next one, couldn't believe it when I saw it, blew me away! - almost asked the staff for the coverdisk behind the counter

That's a very nice move @PixelsAtDawn!
