Is Amiga Inc's claim to AOS valid?

[Boudicca]

If they or whomever had and they felt they could prove this in a court of law then I'm pretty sure they would have taken action long ago to shut down such sites. As no-one has then this just confirms my belief that no-one is either able or willing to challenge this in a court of law for the simple reason being that they know they could never prove ownership and all they could prove is the right to use certain Tradmarks & Logos...

All Rights Reserved. In other words, we lay claim, we may pursue and at our leisure.

IP/Copyright law isn't worth a penny unless there is some merit and profit in pursing it, I have no doubt that infringement of Amiga Inc's rights are often not pursed, simply because there isn't any money in it.

If someone took any IP/copyrighted material and turned over a million dollar profit, I have no doubt a lawyer somewhere will plead to represent AINC in the matter for a nominal fee and the letters would land on the carpet of the offender.

Enforcement of and the Breaking of, the law is not as simple as it first sounds when applied in absentia of a victim.

In the end, it doesn't matter a jot as to the opinion of this thread. Unless someone makes a mint, using the name of, ip of etc, nothing is provable. The law is applied during judgment of the case before the bar and no where else. Regardless of any previous judgments. No one is the owner of anything until that moment and even then, it can be disputed immediately judgment is passed.  

Owner of Amiga OS its IP its name = Who's the man with the cash, and if the price is right, its someone else's cash tomorrow. Cash Cow. Milk it!.

Barry v Ben.....Get ready to rumble!. Get it on!

The only winner is the lawyer, lets put them up against the wall when the revolution comes.
