No I would say your view that it could be the compression technology is valid. Given Barry's history with stuff like this. After all him and his brother found a way of breaking the HBO encryption back in the 80's. So it's possible that, if it is this tech, he will see it as a way of breaking back into the mainstream.



That's interesting.

I've looked at this from the start of the Yeahronimo vs Tulip war only. We've seen constant rebranding of off the shelf h/w, but nothing you could say would set them apart from the rest of the competitors in today's world.
Ergo, when I 1st read about EuroAmerican S.A. contacting Asiarim, this seemed different to me.

I must repeat, however:
(1)We don't know enough about EuroAmerican S.A. atm to prove either the technology, or frankly given the history of Commodore/Amiga and lawsuits...whether the patent is really solely in their hands. I'd like to know more.

(2)Since EuroAmerican S.A. cancelled the negotiations with Asiarim (for obvious reasons now that we've seen the lawsuit) we have no proof they would re-enter negotiations with any new parties associated with Commodore.

we are dealing with an enormous amount of legal, technical and corporate factors that all have to come together at the right time and place.


Whether that applies only to the Commodore IP or relates also to what we are discussing re:wavelet technology is yet to be seen.

No your doing a massive job keeping up with all this. And I doubt anyone would say that the information you dig up isn't helpful as most of us would have probably given this up by now lol. I know it's all conjecture at the moment though. But it's interesting that given all this, and Barry's past, That this seems to pop up so much.

If the codec tech was that hot ****e, there would (and will) be bigger guns on it like stink on a monkey long before the small fry heard about it.

You don't really think a company like Google, MS or Apple wouldn't snap up a revolutionary technology without saying a word for either patents or further development, do you?  Long before a furniture vendor in Florida would have, the big sharks would have been all over it if it was worthwhile and not a complete clusterf*ck of legality.

Nah, they've only done it hundreds upon hundreds of times, lol.

Good grief. One has to wonder what these giants would have on their own today if they couldn't acquire so much. Seems like only the small guys innovate anymore, kind of like starving artists, then the giants poach them like salmon swimming upstream. Very sad when you think about how things were in the 1970s-1980s compared to today.
