AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 603 of 629 | ANN.lu |

Sorry, but what you do with a licence you have bought is resticted to the terms
in the license. If you don't like the license, you cannot alter it and claim that
what you do is ok with your modified license. However, what you do with your
hardware nobody really care about as long as you don't replicate it.
> through them afterwords. And I bet you also burns all your CDs you rip mp3s from.
No, but I don't sell the CDs after I have made my 'backups' of them. Remember that
making mp3s is legal mostly for the reason that transfering the CDs to mp3 makes
it easier to replay them. Not to allow users like you to pirate stuff.

So you admit that this is illegal then? I don't care what you do or if you break the
law. The only thing I care about is what the laws say and the fact that you are trying
to prove your nonsense without any legal grounds. If you then _think_ it is legal or
think it _should_ be legal is not interesting at all.

Lol, so you say that your warranty seal is invalid too :-)

Just because some parts of the ELUA is not valid in some contries it doesn't make it as a whole
invalid. And if there has been a few cases on this, so be it. It doesn't prove that an EULA
is illegal. And there has been a few cases on that too...
> As for EULA, I have no idea whatsoever what you're talking about as I bought all my amigas second hand.
> Is that also illegal now?
Puh? Do you realize how silly you sound?

You are wrong. Very simple. Amiga4Ever and Amithlon has specific licences what permits the use of OS3.5.
Guess what? The license was issued by the party owning the rights for OS3.5, so all is in order.
However since you do not own the rights for the Amigsa KS nor the OS3.5 package, so you may not issue
your own license for it which you seem to think.

Sorry, you'd break DMCA in the US and you'll soon break the european version too as soon as it is
available (is it already?). Fortunately you are not that many in norway, so whatever business you
are trying to ruin is not that bad.
> As for 30 days licenses, that is software that you have not paid for, so customer rights dont apply.
> Also, the n-days trial thing is something the software industry has made up to promote their producst,
Lol. So if I payd for a 30-day license? I could then simply crack that one and claim my customer rights.
Err. Don't think so.

And you do this with every CD you have bought too? Of course after making your so very legal copy of it? Get real!
