Just who is doing the hijacking here? Those who have the trademark currently, purchased it and said intellectual property from Gateway (with the backing of VC, of course). If AInc is guilty of anything, it's writing bad contracts with sharks like Bill Buck and not being well funded or sucessful enough to vigorously defend their IP and trademarks (and I will grant you - a certain amount of ineptness and dodgy fund raising).
I don't follow the Amiga with great interest, as it's more of a morbid curiosity for me. Still, since Amiga Inc hasn't released anything worthwhile in four years, hasn't updated their website in forever, and everyone in the community is wonder just who the hell owns Amiga and/or its trademarks, then there must be something terribly wrong with the company.
Stop making such harsh judgements on ANY party involved, here. Very few of us understand what goes on in those companies or the courts. Maybe Amiga is in default of relicensing their trademarks. Maybe Genesi is full of jerks. Maybe both or neither.
When Amiga releases something, which would actually put them on an equal playing field with Genesi, I'll pass judgement. For now, all I know if that Amiga did absolutely nothing since 2000 (and they certainly had plenty of time), and have a history of not talking to the community. They might not be able to control all the things that go wrong, but they're certainly not that smart.
Wait and see.
