It's rather pathetic, but the only signs of life as of late has been Vince Pfeiffer getting Amiga.org's Cafepress store shut down last week without warning for "trademark violations". This in direct violation of their own licensing agreement which called for 30% of the sales price which I was willing to add into the price if you guys wanted to pay for it. This, even in violation of my own written permission from Gateway's Amiga (which supercedes their own rights) to use said logo.


Who is Vince/what is his job at Amiga? Was your agreement with the Washington company, or the Delaware one?

Why did you (have to) enter into an agreement in the first place? There are no registered trademarks for those signs you use on your t-shirts, AFAIK.

suprise suprise,Bill McEwen reappeared in charge.


What is Bill's real (daytime) job nowadays? He was a truck driver who had never seen an Amiga before being hired by Gateway, right?

Technicly there are some instances where two companies can have the same name, like you point out.  THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH AMIGA INC.  There is only one amiga inc.  If for some reason you can't belive this or are confused by what you read, take it from me, I have watched this all happen... there is only one amiga inc.


Pierre, perhaps you should take it from Bill McEwen:

"the Washington Amiga and the Delaware Amiga are unrelated"
