Let the police raid him? Jesus .. Let the police raid all the owners of c64 ftp sites as well then, I'm pretty sure there are a few commercial games on those that shouldn't be there.
Guys please .. don't be bastards. Nobody loses money here, nobody makes money. The world keeps turning.

Thank God for you Dark Judge, finally someone making sense. But as you said the dvd authors are c=64 demo scene fans. But reality remains are we talking about copyright while the scene was created because of cracking and distrebute of them? |

@krill: You should ask the DVD-Maker to send you (and all +h members) a DVD with your Work. If he does, you can upload it, if he doesnt, let the police raid him.
Name me a single demo maker who doesnt have at least one pirated game. |

The law sees the difference between spreading copyrighted stuff for free and selling it. These DVDs have ISBN numbers, what means that sellers/distributors registered copyrights to themselves, without any permission of authors. It's like I would register Pink Floyd records as mine and sell their records. And I could say: "Hey, costs of my work as DVD-Recorder operator are huge, and I pay taxes, I don't earn anything, so don't be bastards, Pink Floyd. I'm your fan!". I'm not saying that the Police should take care of it (however could), but I'm damn surprised that authours even didn't get free copies, when this DVD is being sell in at last 2 countries now. |

It's 7 Euros including shipping, please don't make such a fuzz around it. I've ordered one, lame as I am, and got order number #71. With all the work invested into mastering the DVD and production costs there's probably 1-2 Euros overhead from every sold DVD. Just enough for a few warm meals at the neighbourhood restaurant. |

My god, what a lot of fuss over nothing.
The hypocrisy is palpable. |

Order number #71 from them or from one of MANY other shops selling this DVD ? This DVD in now available in e-shops in .DE, .UK, .AT, also on Amazon.de . I believe this DVD 'll no be released to download, as it's strictly commercial and is copyrighted. |
