Round 1 to hyperion I believe

[bhoggett]

Crooks vs Shysters - the most irrelevant contest of the century?

The real crime has been the hoodwinking of the community by the dishonesty of those in both companies, who have done nothing but lie and connive for more than half a decade now.

In the end it doesn't really matter as they're fighting over who owns a carcass.

(I should add that people here are reading too much into this decision. This is not in any way a win for either side. It's just that the court found no justification or need for an injuction. The court clearly states that some crucial issues over dates and allocation of payments are unclear and in dispute, and at no point do they support Hyperion's position as defendant.)

Getting my two cents in everywhere,

I am sorry but I do not see where Ainc has lost anything except the right to injunct Hyperion from selling OS4 to an Amigaone computer builder. The judge stated that the status quo remained. He could not see on the basis of Ainc's argument where they would be finacially harmed by leaving things the way they were and that the points which Ainc has brought to the injuction hearing are obvioulsy in dispute and that only a court case would be able to decide them. The court case will hinge on weather Hyperion can prove that Ainc Washington was insolvent and therefore must turn over the properties to Hyperion and Eyetech. And the judge stated that he did not see where that was proved in Hyperions response to the request for an injuction. The only thing I think is that this will take a lot longer and that is too bad for us.

That sums it up for me too (except for the last bit, as I think it doesn't make any difference there.). Amiga Inc haven't won, and Hyperion are far from being in the clear. Both companies have acted dishonourably from the start, and both have lots of shenanigans they want to keep hidden. In truth neither company deserves to be in business any more.
