I don't think it was a beta of 3.9 that Ratte used to make the ROM used in the video.
As daydreamer said, the copyright info in the boot anim said "(c)2006", I'd hazard a guess and say he used a normal 40.63 ROM with updates from 3.9bb2 and (stupidly)changed the copyright info by himself.
IANAL, but changing the copyright notice is the only thing I believe the great filing cabinet can complain about, but that still doesn't warrant having the whole friggin thread removed on the A1k.org forums.

I didn't say so. Only the fact that it was called "3.9 ROM" might have caused Amiga Inc. (who apparently don't have any clue what it really was about) to call their lawyer.

In fact, the ROM-image can be put together by anybody who has access to kickstart 3.1, OS 3.9, BB2 and a few (inofficial) updates of some libraries. This is nothing new and has been done before. The only thing new about it was that it was hacked to be 68000-compatible.

With "unknown legal status" I was mainly referring to the recent updates/betas of workbench.library and icon.library.

Its simple that Bill Mc Ewen has no clue what his company is doing, and he thought that it was a "Internal release" from his own company.

And it seems that Amiga Inc is now based in California

Amiga, Inc.
225 Foster Avenue
Kentfield, California 94904
U.S.A.

Link is in german.

Ah, so when Garry Hare told Amigaworld.net's webmasters/moderators :

"Hi David -

I don't know that there is any interest in the following. If you'd like (after removing my e-mail address) please feel free to post the following:

Several months ago I terminated my association with Amiga, Inc. I am no longer affiliated with Amiga in any capacity.

Best Regards, Garry Hare"

We must have misunderstood what he meant.

Yea, Maybe.

Maybe I'm done believing anything at all these people ever say because they keep making people giving them the benefit of the doubt look stupid for doing so again.

These people are unbelievable.

It might help to read the thread. E.g. post #9:

Not anymore, 'the sleeping filing cabinet' complained and got the video removed.

'the sleeping filing cabinet' = Amiga Inc.
