amiga-news.de: Amiga Link Directory Filled with over 1000 Links
Our Amiga Link Directory (ALD) set forth in January, 2000 to fill the big hole left by the closing of AWD [Amiga Web Directory -DM].
Since then the result has been positive: 29 categories with over 1000 hand-sorted links. Alfred Sturm is the man who labors
behind the scenes in this area, entering new links almost daily.
If your own homepage has something to do with Amiga we would be happy if you would enter it in this area. You can also help by notifying
Alfred Sturm of dead links or address changes.

Golem: Data Rights Group against the Collection of Flat-rate IP Numbers
Regulations designed to protect personal rights have been twisted to do the opposite.
After the government of Darmstadt, according to multiple press reports, directed Internet
provider T-Online to archive which customers used which IP numbers at which times (because
of many customer complaints), the Independent Center for Data Rights (ULD) commented on
the decision. The Darmstadt oversight officials pointed out that the ruling was limited, and that
the rights situation to the officials of other German states would be unchanged.

CHIP online: Hacker-Group: Spy Tool for File Exchange Software?
Roland 'Cyco Myco' Weigert writes:
I just read two very interesting columns at CHIP Online. The first is from January 14th and covers the topic:
"Hacker Group: Spy Tool for File Exchange Software." According to this there is apparently a hacker group
in the service of the RIAA which uses a covertly installed worm in Windows and Linux media players to see
what media files the user has, then sends the information back over the Internet to the music industry (RIAA).
In the second article, from yesterday, comes this:
(Music Industry: No Spying in File-sharing Software),
denies the RIAA, who have something to do with all this.

amiga-news.de: Small Changes in Design
In order to make our menus a bit more readable we have removed the headings for 'Sub pages' and 'Special Pages.' These links may now be found in the upper menu under the link ´Sub Pages´ (bottom row, all the way on the right.
The links to our Partner Pages, which were formerly in the upper menu on the third row, are now in the right menu under ´Amiga Network.´
This was reached by a clear division between internal (upper menu) and external (right menu), and the right menu has become considerably shorter and thereby more readable. (ps) (Translation: dm)

for the A1200 in November 1999. Because of the unclear business methods Metabox reached the headlines several times in 2001.
Met@box AG has been founded on May the 15th 1996 with the name PIOS Computer AG by Amiga-Commodore developer engeneers (Dave Haynie, Andy Finkel) and former managers of Amiga Technologies (Stefan Domeyer). The initial capital, contributed by seven formers, had the amount of DM 1.05 millions.
Further details are to obtain from our
info page from June 1999.

Amithlon: PuhDerBaer update
Bernd Meyer writes:
I just realized that the stereo-capable version of PuhDerBaer (the
Paula-to-AHI redirector) never made it out to the users. Well, it's never
too late --- download the archive and please make sure you read the
included README.
Please note that I packed this up under Linux, rather than under AmigaOS.
So it is possible that permission bits may not be set correctly --- so if
things don't work, look for that first.

amiga-news.de: Amazon partner program buttons built in
Along the discussion (German) during the last week about new possibilities of funding there was several times the proposal among the comments to join the Amazon partner program. We signed it up now and there are now the two buttons for that built in at the right menu.
Many of you are buying books at Amazon. If you will do so in future by using one of the two buttons we will obtain a provision, which we can then use to fund amiga-news.de. So this is a kind of possibility to support us financially.
