My brother is in the internet business, and offered to buy a domain for $5000, a domain that had his companies trademark.
This was a few years ago, the kid who owned it, actually had the gumption to hold out for more money. After a year or two of negotiations, which they dutifully entertained...finally they decided he wasn't really ever going to be realistic. They brought in the lawyers and just took the domain, and paid him nothing.
It is a fact, that you cannot hold someone's trademark. There isn't a lot of legal wiggling that can go on here...Amiga is spanish word for girlfriend, but as amusing as it would be, for people to suggest this site is really a collection of girlfriends having discussions...lmao...dang that is funny...it just isn't reality. Amiga in this case, stands for the Amiga computer, the trademark is owned by Amiga Inc.
I had suggested a while back that Amiga should refer to a generic class of home computers, but that never really flew, so I think we are stuck.
With that said, I think Amiga, Inc. should offer to PAY for amiga.org, if they really want the name. They should realize amiga.org could continue easily under a different name. And they should realize they are going to upset all but their most loyal worshippers if they act rashly. And they should WELL KNOW, they will never build a market from that group of witless geeks.
I know I should leave out that last line, but I can't. I am simply disgusted at too deep a level by petty people who cannot handle differing opinions.
