Amiga Case Designer Faces Intimidation

[darkage]

Amazing! I didnt login on the weekend and already theres an epic thread with legal threats sling match....  

I guess theres probably alot of temptation for other parties to sue in Commdore/Amiga land. Isnt that the Amiga story after commodore bankruptcy, I'll sue you no no I'll sue you.

Anyways Goodluck!  Its no good to just finish a product and then deal with crap like this.

I do believe its probably not good to open a thread that would definitely be open to flaming..

Why dont we close the thread with the case designer just ship it without logos, and have printable logos where people can download then stick it on their own case if they like ?  After all it was sold without logos and endusers should be free to decorate their own cases  

Hell even CUSA could get into the sticker trade, making and selling their own stickers as long as cost isn't above $2

I think we might be starting to go down this road..  remember apple sueing anyone that uses anything that even resembles an apple.

Yeah centre looks odd, to the left looks more like home a bit more like the original.

Keep it plain, alot of ppl really like the glossy white surface..

Also I dont like the name X500.. just appears too X1000 to me.. and the 2 lights  on the left opposite to the original A500 on the right. (just like reminding of home as stated before, like in the origianl a500)  Im starting to think its a mirror image of things that have been done.. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing, I would prefer unique offerings though.

Yeah as its your baby, its too tempting to keep on going back and making changes..  You have to at least settle with a base model thats not too labour intensive to manufacture but still appealing..

You could  charge a little more $$ for your labour for customisable options but that will probably gunna turn into a headache..

Maybe consider offerring good quality vinyls seperately down the track to help ppl decorate only if there is a demand.  (unique custom ones of course  )

May the man with the best case win!  (glossy one)   Geez turning into an epic thread I bet!

[darkage]

Oh well I think we are half way there to beating the CUSA interview thread that had 38 pages..  :-/

I think the thread should be wrapped up with TheDaddy finishing it off perfecting by stating the case will be available in black.

After all TheDaddy isn't gunna use stickers or advertising logos here or there.. so solution already place and nothing much to talk about except I like or I dont like CUSA, Hyperion, Amiga Inc, or my high school english teacher!

Some how I get the feeling Im witnessing the slow destruction of the Amiga community here :-/

[darkage]

I dunno, having a dog play a role like Mitchie is in my opinion poor taste...  Its just like trying to be something that your not..  The original certainly has big shoes to fill which is best left untouched.

[darkage]

errrk does it really matter, the only way you will be able to find out is if you ask Amiga Inc yourself..  You could say your interested in licensing the name whatever to get your foot in the door..

[darkage]

they should get "Moochie" on this...sniff out if anything was actually stolen or misrepresented.  Or Moochie will bury his bones in the empty computer case.

I'll bet Moochie is the most ethical of the bunch  :cool:

at least he doesn't make stupid posts on message boards

I dont know about that one! Moochie will definitely have his/her moments..  When your leading a team of Monkeys what can you do??

[darkage]

He should, then send a Cease & Desist letter from his attorney to CUSA. That would be Awesome!:banana::banana::banana:

Action speaks louder than words, I wouldn't take his words too seriously until he actions upon it.. I dunno I think he likes to talk a bit...  So until something happens wait with baited breath..

[darkage]

I wouldnt be surprised if the A.org owner stepped up one day to purchase such rights... that would certainly be interesting within the threads... :-/
