Then there is the issue of Hyperion accepting the $25K as apart of the OS4 buy back and failing to produce the source code and object code.

Didn't you read the documents?

On page 6 of 19, paragraph 27 (line 9), the document states:

"Hyperion rejected ITEC's efforts to exercise rights under the agreement and returned the $25.000 check."

Still any questions?
All the best,

It's funny how everyone is so anti piracy on here with regards to sending Kickstart ROMs, Workbench disks and similar things, ...



Yeah - who should hinder someone pirating anything labeled "Amiga", if "AInc (Delaware)" really gets sentenced
to drop the name "Amiga" from their company name, public sponsorships and so on?

If they really should have no rights to use the Amiga name, and really had no rights to Amiga OS 3.1 to 3.9; and AInc (Washington ) no longer exists - who holds the rights then?
Who would have the right to sue someone pirating Amiga IP then?

Amiga, Inc is obviously still in business and ... I see it going in their favor.  Good thing this is happening in a US court.



If this bunch of betr - errmmm - those people, who took my money and failed more than five years to give me anything in return up to now really should win this case, then I'd say this would shade a very bad light on that US court/US law and make foreign customers of US companies think twice before they go into business with them...
