They may not have even known of the old Amiga computer. Hardly anyone under 25 or anyone who wasn't into computers in the late 80's remembers the Amiga any more. Mention Amiga today and you just get 'Omega? What's that? Is it like a Playstation?'
I would advise anyone starting a business to do a quick search to see if the name thay want is in use already. The fact that amiga.com was already registered should have been enough. A quick search for "Amiga computer" would have given enough evidence that a company called Amiga that sells computer stuff is already in existence.
Failure to check if your chosen name is already in use can be disastrous.

Well, their company is called Amiga Electronics, and they sell mainly electronic components and PCB's.
What confuses me is that there exists many other companies who also sell computers and parts or services, such as Amigakit.com, Amiga Center France, Amiga Super Bit in Spain, Amiga City in Belgium, or Amiga Innovations in Perth, but we haven't had threads about those companies or people sending emails to Amiga Inc to get them shut down (or maybe they have, I dont know)
The difference is that these stores actually resell amiga software and hardware, instead of slapping on a Amiga sticker and selling something not connected as an Amiga, when it is infact not.
If they on the other hand sold toilets under that name, then there would probably be no problems though.
