[Coco] [Color Computer] copyright infringement and the rainbow

[Michael Wayne Harwood]

Please forgive the naiveté of my earlier response to this flame bait.  I did
not realize until this post that Woodzy (proteanthread at yahoo.com) is not
really interested in offering anything constructive, but I should have.

Regards,
Michael Harwood

Subject: [Coco] [Color Computer] copyright infringement and the rainbow

Here is an example when a community works together:
http://www.atariarchives.com

Either get over this copyright fiasco, deal with it, find a compromise, or
whatever, but unless you do, the CoCo community is doomed.

I see no reason that whomever should be holding the copyrights so closely
(since there is no more money to be made on this) but must have a reason
(although from an outsiders point of view its damn selfish) or another;
IMHO (like it really matters at this point) whoever holds copyrights to
anything coco or trs80 should allow it to be posted to the net for at least
archival purposes, if nothing else.  This stuff won't be around forever and
neither will we, but at least on the net there is some chance that it will
be preserved in some form or another (just look at the atari related link
above or the various ti99 sites).

Thats all I have to say and will say on the subject....
