I think roms/disks for some machines are no longer copyrighted though,
no? (or at least freely distributable) - I think Acron's BBC machines
fall under this category. There seemed to be a lot of people a few years
back who took to putting rom/disk images up on public sites until
somebody complained - presumably there's been a crackdown on that sort
of thing recently though...
(always seems a pity that the information is out there... somewhere...
but almost impossible to get to!!)
