There are certain sites available on the net where you can download images
of CD's, CD covers, manuals etc. I'm not sure if there is any Amiga software
on these sites but surely this must breach copyright laws and certainly will
influence people to purchase pirated software rather than buy when their
copied versions look almost as smart as an original. Sites like this should
be banned just like those that are available to download the likes of
Heretic II and OS3.5.
