Title: amigaos.com up for sale
Post by: amyren on October 30, 2009, 08:04:02 AM
After looking at som videos from Amiwest that mentioned who have the rights to the namesamiga and amigaos, I tried to look up the url amigaos.com
The resulting page does not containg any amigarelated stuff, but it seemed to be aquired by someone recently.
And it looks like this someone is looking to make a profit on the situation.

This is what is displayed on the webpage:
"The owners of the domain name http://www.amigaos.com are accepting offers from interested parties willing to obtain ownership rights over the domain name. "

It was acquired nearly a year ago, apparently by a websquatter. A browser with Javascript enabled is immediately redirected to a travel site.

According to the internet archive it's been a domain for sale since '01.  It original started off talking about Amiga OS 5!

Maybe the squatters think Petty Curry is still alive and waving millions around behind the curtain at AInc. :D :D :D

Not a real domain but yeah, Amiga Inc only owns the name when it's related to computers, they can't sue you if you have a Portuguese girl friend!
