19 April 2005
Update 1: ZX Spectrum Copyrights are ultimately very unclear to certain companies and/or individuals and we aren't sure anymore if all those persons or companies (who gave us permissions), are still able to do so at the present moment. Amstrad is a clear example of this. WOS was "officially endorsed" by Cliff Lawson (from Amstrad) and also got permission for Sinclair ROMS. However, Amstrad, PLC denies this fact and states that Amstrad, PLC isn't aware of that permission, saying that what Mr. Cliff Lawson gave was an unofficial permission.
Many more copyrights are getting difficult to prove and for that reason Gamestage has currently STOPPED allowing games for free download. During this period we are re-gathering informations about all copyrights holders and trying our best to reach out every Software House and/or individuals. This process may take several days, but we sure that once completed, we will have our "copyrights holders" database rechecked and updated correctly.
We ask for your comprehension while this process is taking place. Let's hope for the best.
If you have any comments or questions about this, or if you simply feel unhappy about our decision, please drop us a word by writing to: gamestage_online@yahoo.com.

14 April 2005
Update 1: The copyrights notice has been updated. We are trying to be as clear as possible and it is not our intention to harm anyone. Please consider the updates done as a way to better credit all the people involved in helping Gamestage. Click HERE to check!

Update 1: More sad news! This year seems to be getting worse for Spectrum fans and Gamestage! Retro-trader company has signed an exclusive license contract with The Shaw Brothers, which means that several games (some from Atlantis Software) were removed from our website. Retro-trader (http://www.retrotrader.com/) also assures that more games will become denied, so let's wait and see what they are up to!


29 March 2005
Update 1: Activision has stated to Gamestage that all games from their label and all games labeled Electric Dreams Software are not to be freely distributed! Activision has made it clear to us that every single site on the net is denied to make those games available. Gamestage is no exception and we had (unfortunately) to remove them. However, Gamestage is still dealing with Activision in order to reach a balanced deal. Let's hope for the best.
