Some people keep hammering on this. All I can say is, good luck finding companies that you consider legitimate and respectful.
Do you refuse to with these non-legitimate respectful businesses? Avoiding them would be like avoiding businesses that use gasoline.
In the context of the corporate world..
Legitimate = bonafide business with original IP, or fully licensed IP, for their products/services sold.
Respectful = obeying the various laws governing commerce.
That doesn't mean they are ethical or tree hugging UNICEF protagonists in the real world, just straightforward commercial entities.
I suspect BS Altman gets away with some things because the IP owners involved in some cases do not have the sort of money that Microsoft et al have to throw at lawyers and courtroom sessions basically. Doesn't mean it is right commercially or 100% legal.
And in a way, like most people, I purchase products based on the product sold not the company mantra evangelising some mission statement
Like I said if he came out with a C64C style case or an Amiga 3000 style case that you can drop in a Mini ITX board then fine, but he hasn't and he won't. As stated many times I don't believe the custom chips>CPU brute force situation of Amiga 1000 in 1985 will ever repeat itself in the computer world though so I don't expect anyone to come up with a true spiritual successor to the Amiga 1000. If anything that could only have happened on launch day for the Xbox 360 motherboard if it was licensed out to some company to build a home computer with and it had a superior OS designed for it than Windows and sold for half the cost of an identical PC in 2006 which could play games at DirectX 10 levels of detail @ 1080p just like an actual Xbox 360 did for 200 bucks here in the UK. But he is still just a furniture importer running some very shady business cashing in on the vintage cachet of 'Commodore' and 'Amiga' to me, and this will not change in the foreseeable future.
