Commodore Scotland Under Threat...

Anyone who complained about your site is probably one of the people still trying to rob the grave of amiga. (or they have close friends who are those people)
 
These people will never concede it, but no one can prove ownership of anything like amiga roms or wb 1.x-3.x. They never prove they own anything, merely say "prove I don't own it." which is a bullshit argument.
 
If I own something, a car a house, I can certainly show proof of ownership and would if there was ever any question. The same would go for any business holdings I have.
 
Never once has any of these people claiming ownership proven ownership of either os roms, source, names, trademarks, patents.
 
NEVER. Not once. Now they may sue each other and claim ownership, but never has anyone really challenged any of their claims.
 
The rights have transferred so many times and most of those contracts are no longer valid because many of the parties do not exist.
 
In regards to AINC especially, illegal and unlawful transfer of ownership from shell to shell would negate their legal claims. Look it up.
A decent lawyer would destroy them in court.

I guess Hyperion didn't have a decent lawyer then, otherwise instead of a settlement there would have been a judgment against AInc. Or is the settlement an example of Ben Hermans generosity?

And what does you buying an "OS4 machine" have to do with supporting the Amiga Community

Franko, you'll find that many OS4 supporters treat Hyperion and Co. as a charity. There are even some out there who don't have the hardware to run OS4 but they still buy the software. They also actually believe that OS4 *is the Amiga*, and therefore by supporting the OS4 charity they are somehow supporting the Amiga.

I know, it's pretty screwy, but that's just how it is.

While there is truth is what you say, there is little difference between how OS4 users look at Hyperion vs how supporters of the other amiga/amigalike options look at the ones they support.
I gather you single out Hyperion because some of the other options have no official management/company behind them?

Well, for AROS that's true enough. I'm aware of a few AROS users who seem to also consider AROS "the Amiga", though they seem to be tongue in cheek about it. MorphOS seems to be about doing the MorphOS thing, I can only think of one person who seems to think MOS is "the Amiga", it's even in his signature, and the management behind MOS doesn't promote it as "the Amiga". UAE, MiniMig, and Natami - supporting these means supporting real Amiga software, so in a sense with those two systems you ARE supporting the Amiga.

It's only because Hyperion was so anxious to get the Holy Name that they have so many who think that supporting OS4 means supporting Amiga. I'm pretty sure if you ask any AROS or MOS user if they think they're OS of choice is the actual Amiga, most will admit it's merely Amiga-like.

I wonder what will happen when CUSA is added to the mix?
