The legalities of using (copyrighted?) Amiga logos on websites

Hi,

For my new CD32-related website (see sig for link, nothing there yet though!) I was wondering about logos. More specifically, the red and white Amiga CD32 logo (as found on the front of the CD32 and most CD32 games), and the Commodore logo. Would there be any legal issues if I were to use any of these on my website pages? I'm not sure who owns what, these days, if anybody!

Thanks!
Steve.

I'd say use it, it's not like there is anyone who can sue you.

I  have a disclaimer on my site that says that the logos are copyright.

But, my viewpoint is that it is free advertising for amiga, so no problem IMHO....

Hehe, and if someone WERE to object to anything that they found , then it`s only a ten minute job to rectify the problem...
  :-D

Seriously, do you remember when loads of people were going to be sued by Amiga Inc. et al... and then we heard nothing from them.

They can't even defend themselves from any of the case brought against them, even ones they could have won if they had had decent, or any council... :-D

Very good point, DON'T USE THE COMMODORE LOGO WITHOUT PERMISSION, the trademark owner has teeth and WILL bite!!
