- Sigh!
-
- I nearly packed the whole lot in, this
- issue has taken so much time you
- wouldn't believe the hassle & threats,
- I have received. I seem to have
- offended 1 or two large companies
- with some of my comments, why they
- were reading a Free Commodore
- magazine I don't know.
-
- Also some problems with copyright of
- pictures text and logos that companies
- trying to cash back in on Commodore
- seem to have a problem with. I have had
- a legal letter demand I remove all of
- their content and reference to them
- from the magazine. I had really no
- option but to pull the last issues from
- the website and start Issue 4 from
- scratch, this time trying to ensure I
- contact everyone about text and
- graphics and logos before they went
- into the magazine.
-
- I am hoping companies like
- Protovision wouldn't mind the use of
- there logo on the news section, and I
- presume pictures of Commodore
- machines are ok to use in the
- magazine.
-
- Anyone know who owns the copyright
- to the Commodore machines shape'
- Can pictures of Commodore machines
- be legally printed in a Free magazine.
-
- As you can see I have been having
- some problems, and while some
- readers have emailed me with concerns
- that I have stopped producing the
- magazine, you can rest easily knowing
- you have issue 4
-
- How many readers looked at the
- magazine, well according to my ISP
- the total downloads for issue 3 were
- 300, I can obtain a report on each file
- and if that file was linked to from
- other places.
-
- So I know that other websites have
- links to Commodore Free magazine
- and users have followed these links to
- find the magazine. I can also so what
- pages people went to on the site, some
- user clicked links direct to the
- Download of the PDF which is fine.
-
- Commodore Free makes no money,
- In the event that donations exceed the
- web hosting costs this money will be
- donated to Commodore Projects.
