"C64 classix Gold II" CD by Magnussoft
i thought i'd share this, just for the curious people.... if you want to know how much the producers of this (commercial) CD appearently know (or care) about copyright, just have a look at the list of games on it and draw your own conclusions: http://rapidshare.com/files/43100508/games.rar.html |

Thats one of the biggest problems about the collections. Most of them are made out of net dusting the net.
Often we see they take parts from a few sites, or just rename a known collection. The Unicorn/CD-96 etc. is a wellknown example.
Worst is when things are renamed from the original filename or spread as prg-files then it makes it almost impossible to make an accurate preservation. The last thing here is a good reminder that people shouldnt upload prg-files anywhere. |

there is a big difference between stuff that is released to the scene, and stuff that is exploited commercially, imho.

Out of topic a bit, but still;
The very same problem regarding namingstandard is something I see daily here on CSDB. Ppl putting gamename without releasegroup as name is rather stupid, especially if you do have 30 versions of the very same game :)
But yes - ppl selling all this junk they download from the net oughta be shot - this was the very first reason I was kicked off Lemon; For pointing out that banners with idiots selling D64 CDs oughta be shot. Wow!

...oh no... I'm one of those guys... :-( I really thought that they are "legal", but I never take a look at the programms. I just bought them (cheap - Eur 5,-- per CD), never opened them and just put them into my CD-collection (and was happy to have some LEGAL CD's)...
But there are some more CD's... Classix, Classix II, Classix Gold, Gold II, etc. / is there the same about the copyright..? |

its hillarious when crackers suddenly start to worry about copyrights, when its about their work. and no there's no difference, you violate it wether you ask money wether not. |

you missed the point. its not about worrying about copyright at all. (and nots not exactly only about cracks either) |
