Evert Carton leaves Hyperion

[Darrin]

Who or what Evert Carton (odd name !!!)

Wasn't Evert Carton III the FBI bloke is Saturday's Doctor Who episode?

[Darrin]

Evert provided more details.  See post #40 in the thread on AW.

Well that was a big storm in a teacup.

[Darrin]

Because Evert represented somewhere from 25% - 50% of Hyperion. Also, he was a co-founder of Hyperion, the other founder being Ben Hermans.

It's also a little strange that he would decide to publicly announce he was leaving after having been pretty much out of the loop for the last few years. If most didn't know who he was and that he worked at Hyperion, then why even bring it up now?

Why not bring it up?  The chap wanted to say "goodbye" and that's it.  I bet he wishes he hadn't bothered now.

I have to admit, it seems folks are having a field day with this. I could understand it if it were the case that Hyperion Entertainment had turned round and said "so long and thanks for all the fish" but that's not what has happened. Well, at least not yet anyway though I'm sure some folk still live in hope.

Yep, some have been adding 2 plus 2 to make 5 while others have come up with conspiracy theories that would make Oliver Stone shiver.  

[Darrin]

There's no real conspiracy here. Just a lot of BS. Bill MCEwen and Hyperion have managed to lay claim to ownership of AmigaOS and have many of you convinced that this is a valid claim.
As AmigaInc. licensed trademarks from Gateway, not intellectual property this claim is patently false.
Gateway clearly stated that they continued to own said properties.
Again, AInc is a licensee of trademarks NOT the owner of any of the intellectual properties involved in the original Amigas.

This is not a conspiracy, it is an act of fraud.

So is there any reason why a certain Judge couldn't work this all out?  I mean, any other reason other than you being wrong that is?

[Darrin]

So Darrin, why do you think Amiga Inc. decided to forgo a judges decision and agree to a settlement with Hyperion?
Because it was mutually beneficial to both of them. Bill gets to continue to pretend that he owns something (granting licenses to something that he himself was only a licensee of).
And Hyperion solidifies its claim to the development of AOS by mutually agreeing that AInc. owns 3.1.

But where is the original transfer of that property to AInc?
Simple, it doesn't exist.
Prove me wrong.
You can't. Amiga Inc is a sham. It owns nothing. The only thing it could have acquired from past corporations is what Amino originally purchased, a license to use a trademark.

I have no idea and I don't have to prove anything.  I also think your opinions (which is all they are) hold any water.  If you're so right then why doesn't someone else just buy the rights from Gateway?

[Darrin]

Hmmm... this thread was supposed to be about poor wee Everton Carbuncles retirement from he/her/its/whats job or whatever at Hyperactive... :confused:

So how did the subject get onto AmigaSTIncK and copymerights/IPees and all that malarky !!!

It's dark in here... I'm going to hard boil one of me chocolate easter eggs... now where did I leave those matches...

Sorry, back to the tribute to Eric Cantona...

[Darrin]

What's going on here? First you knew about the existence of Doctor Who and now you know about Eric Cantona? What gives? :confused:

I thought Americans knew the world inside and out, until they steped outside then they are as blind as a bat :roflmao:

Oi!  I'm Welsh!  I just live in the USA.  

I'm not a real Cajun.  I still have all my teeth, I only have 10 toes and I don't regard family reunions as a chance to score with chicks.  

[Darrin]

My grandfather was Welsh which probably means we are related :eek:

Do you find sheep attractive and regard mint sauce as a lubricant?  :p
