Hyperion vs Cloanto

[pixie]

@magnetic:

I don't see how that is the case, one company has written OS4 and improved OS3.1, the other is a parasite company that sells a free emulator.

Hyperion seem to have a stronger legal case which is fortunate because if they lost it would be disastrous for the Amiga community, most likely the end of any further development of AmigaOS.

WTF? Stronger legal case? The legal dispute is not about OS4 (or even an improved 3.1). It's about Kickstart 1.3 distribution rights and the specific trademarks which both "Parasites" are entitled to use.   

Now, if both parasites had strictly followed their license agreements then there would be no legal dispute. But what happens when one parasite claims implied rights which infringe on the other parasite's rights?   

This clearly shows that you have little knowledge about the product itself, Cloanto own contributions, and the obvious fact that without the roms you're running illegal software (unless you own an actual amiga)

5 years later and the lawyers are laughing all the way to the bank!

could it really FINALLY be over with all the damn lawsuits and both parties move forward rather than wasting money on lawyers dammit

[BozzerBigD]

No, it's not over because in 5 years the lawyers settled nothing other than:

1) C-A Acquisition Corp. is too late to be added to the list of plaintiffs.
2) C-A Acquisition Corp. is the only entity that can bring litigation against Hyperion for breach of the 2009 settlement agreement!

You'd think the bloodsucking idiots could have seen that in order to save everyone some time and actually solve the impasse, they SHOULD have let C-A Acquisition Corp. join the plaintiffs once Cloanto bought Amiga Inc. That obviously would have required some common sense; not a legal requirement for lawyers sadly!
