Commodore USA puts Marko Hirv's name back

How about they are enjoying their hobby and helping other to also.

The "I'M JUST DOING THIS TO MAKE MONEY, SCREW ALL YOU AMIGA FILTH" sentiment in Barry's reply does not indicate this.

I'm waiting for the Commodore branded toilet from Barrydore.  That guy's so full of shit, I bet he knows a good toilet when he sees one!

Are there any reason whatsoever to buy from this guy ?

No.

Good question.  No.

Either using Windows for work is unethical, or this guy is not.

..or you're trying to make mashed potatoes out of dog turds and Pringles.

Legal issues and shouts of hypocrisy aside, stealing a picture someone else drew and erasing the artist's name from it to attempt to generate interest in a non-existent product is cheesy, and re-adding the artist's name (but leaving other changes made to the picture) after being caught is just comical.  Anyone lame enough to do that deserves whatever criticism they get.

So, you are calling Piru a theif then?

No, but I'd be interested to know how you got the idea that I was.

[tone007]

tone007, you claim that using other people's artwork without permission is 'stealing'.  Piru has done this, so, by your definition, Piru would be a thief.  Or does it only count when it is someone that you have randomely decided to attack?

Piru simply compiled proof of the stupidity of the man trying to make money off of someone else's artwork.  If you don't appreciate the difference there, you're hopeless.  

No one is randomly attacking Commodore USA.  They asked for it.

@tone007
If your arguing the letter of the law, then there is no difference.

I am not, as I prefaced my previous post.

If you are not arguing the letter of the law, only the original artist can claim that CUSA deserves it.

A little more of your flawed logic.  If we're not going by the law, why would the right to take exception at Commodore USA's actions be reserved for the original artist?  Try to keep up with yourself.

Obviously, enough people think what Commodore USA is doing is pretty ridiculous, and are enjoying lampooning them.  They're allowed to do that.

@tone007
Since you are not arguing the letter of the law, then you are just being an ass to the guys at CUSA.  What you are doing is not 'lampooning' them.  You are outright and seriously calling them theives.  You are doing this because they used some really old image that the author likely doesn't even care about.

I called them cheesy. If that makes me an ass, so be it. I think they're asses. They also admitted to using the picture without permission.  Sounds like stealing to me.  Let me know if you find out that it isn't, but if someone decided to use something of mine without asking (yes, it has happened,) I'd consider it stealing.  Oh, and don't presume to know why I'm posting against them.  I started long before they used the image.

Also, please learn to spell thieves, your typos are hurting my eyes, Befail9.
