SO WHY DOES CHRIS WHITE DO THIS WITH PRINCE OF PERSIA THEN?
Because he wrote it, and he wants to.
It's his decision to make, not yours.
It's not your place to use his decision to put pressure onto anybody
else.
All I'm doing is questioning the inconsistencies which exist here, I'm not
making decisions! We live in a democracy Andrew - I'll question what I like.
WELL DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY HE DOESN'T?!! OR WHY CHRIS PILE DOESN'T
CHARGE FOR DEFENDER? IT'S CALLED GOODWILL, AND LONG MAY IT CONTINUE,
OTHERWISE THERE WON'T BE ANY SCENE LEFT IF SUCH AN ATTITUDE PREVAILED.
Who the hell are you to say that Persona are wrong to try to raise money
for charity* out of their software?
You're missing my point Andrew, I've no objections to those who wrote the
titles not wishing them to be distributed. If Chris White had done the same
with Prince Of Persia as Ultimate have done with Jetpac then I would've
respected that.
Persona have acquired copyrights to software not produced by themselves.
They didn't write these - that is the crux of what I'm saying. As I have
written in earlier posts, whilst I agree with them wanting to charge for
titles designed and produced by themselves (as Chris Piggot does) I'm
questioning the charges for software not produced by them. In my humble
opinion, it goes against everything which is great about the emulation
scene.
You seem to be getting a little agitated by all this Andrew, so I suggest
you read some of my earlier posts before you no doubt respond to this one
with questions I've already answered.
Life is too short for bickering - we should all be working together here.
Today as a result of a few positive e-mails a playable demo of F16 Combat
Pilot is now available for download for the benefit of all (yourself
included). This is due to the excellent work of Simon Owen in transferring
the TZX file to DSK format, following up on an idea by Frode from which I
unearthed a link for download purposes. Progress, I think.
