just saw the worrying Poseidon news

[AmiGR]

He attacked Chris andhe removed his right to upgrade, which is totally legal.
When you buy a program, you buy the CURRENT version of it, not future ones.

[AmiGR]

It's dangerous because the AmigaOS is not a memory protected system. If you're unlucky enough,
a crashed program could jump in the code and
execute it, erasing your RDB.
The other ways to trigger it can be manupulated by
a naughty program the same way.

[AmiGR]

Look, if anyone's machine was ####ed and and had
sensitive, not recoverable, data in it and he got pissed off, he could have sued Elbox AND Chris.
Chris would have to proove that he was innocent in
court. He eventually would get out of it but would be
harmed by the costs of the lawsuit.

[AmiGR]

1) He did not switch off anything. You can still use the version YOU BOUGHT THE KEY FOR!
2) There was never a real agreement with Elbox.
BTW, do you have any explainations to the earlier
#### Elbox pulled on companies?
VFD, the P96 team, Hyperion? No? Too bad...

[AmiGR]

Now I'm not saying that this is the same situation, but look at the last time Elbox had a contract with a driver supplier.... CGFX..... and look what happened, another company nullified there contract by arranging an exclusive contract.

They had NO contract with VFD...

[AmiGR]

They had a verbal agreement, not something remotely as bining as a contract. DCE offered him
a contract to do something under payment and he
accepted it.
