AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk is finally online!
Here you'll hopefully find all information you could possibly want about the "AmigaOS distribution policies and POP/PPC hardware petition". I hope the background information and FAQ will be especially helpful to clear up any confusion surrounding these issues.
If you have not yet signed the petition, then please do so now! Please help spreading the word by linking to AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk. It's not too late to save our favourite OS and a unified POP-based hardware market!
In other news, I have finally managed to get in touch with the PetitionOnline.com administrators. The few abuse and sabotage attempts so far have been removed from the signatory listings. Not that any garbage would ever reach the recipient of our petition, but I understand some thought that it didn't look too good...

you don't remember amax? that came with a funky floppy adaptor that you had to put apple roms in, how long did it take someone to crack it to load them from disk? not long. how long will it take someone to hack AOS4? not long if they want to do it, the xbox bios protection has been hacked now. it's all just a matter of time.
I personally think it's stupid to try to protect against piracy, it'll happen whatever you do to stop it. I don't like passwords on peoples computers either. I also accept other people have different opinions though.
