New Commodore Invictus from Commodore USA

[haywirepc]

I was kind of wondering how long it would take this idiot to rebrand this computer, since he's already got the cybernet and another all in one keyboard on his site.
 
I love the hypeup and make believe nonsense on the website. I wonder how long it will be until commodore international or whoever owns the trademark sues him and shuts him down.
 
Why buy this thing from this joker? Just to get a commodore sticker you stick on yourself? Your kidding right?

What a bunch of absolute rubbish this so called company is.
 
Somehow I'm a troll because I'm pointing out the truth?

This guy took so far near as I can tell 3 different off the shelf already existing computers, which you can buy much much cheaper elsewhere, then called them new products, making up fancy new names.
 
He can't legally even use the name or trademarks for commodore (yet) as admitted but is still doing so. In my view, thats not just misleading, not just not immoral, but it is also completely illegal. Hey he will include some commodore stickers you can slap on these things. I can print my own fake commodore stickers if I want to pretend my off the shelf pc is a commodore new computer, thank you.
 
Pardon me for pointing out the truth here. I'll try to remain quiet in the future when my bull*!#! detector goes off, but this company makes that detector go off like crazy.
 
My favorite part is that they send stupid people to forums like this, where they should know that people will see through this scam to promote this nonsense. Its just ridiculous.

Your right this just keeps getting better.
 
Looks like commodore usa's 5 point plan for success is failing.
 
1) Copy your marketing and website from apple almost word for word.
 
2) Imply your creating a new computer when all your doing is slapping a sticker on a cybernet zpc that says commodore, even when you have no rights to do so.
 
3) Imply your creating another new commodore computer when your just taking another off the shelf computer and slapping your fake commodore stickers on them.
 
4) Send your monkeys to post in commodore and amiga sites hoping to
make a buck with your scam.
 
5) Start lying about buying the rights or negociating for the rights to the commodore name after you get caught red handed using the name without the legal rights to do so.

Whats ausieben the huge fan of this jackoff  got to say now?

Perhaps my earlier post was a bit harsh... But I just don't see why anyone would want to support someone who copied their whole website from apple word for word, and then imply they are creating new computers
when they are obviously just putting a "sticker" on it that says commodore.
 
Call it what you will, a brand logo, a sticker, it is essentially just putting a sticker on an existing product. No where on the site does it say he is just "partnering" with cybernet and rebranding the computer. The site implys at least they are new products created by this shell of a company. I don't believe its a company at all, one guy copying apples website, and illegally using a brand name doesn't make a company. For the record, it is illegal to use a brand name you don't have legal rights to to sell any product. It is illegal to brand a product with a trademark or logo you don't have legal rights to. This is not simply my opinion, its a fact, ask any lawyer.
 
Yes other companies rebrand things, but they don't try to pass this rebranding off as recreating a classic computer or try to use a beloved old computer brand to make a buck, which is certainly what this person is attempting.
 
If you want to pay a couple hundred bucks extra buying one of these products from this guy just because he slaps a commodore sticker on it, fine, but I don't see many people willing to do that.
 
This whole thing just screams "scam" but perhaps thats just my opinion.
I know one thing for sure...You can get a "phoenix" direct from cybernet for a lot less money. You can print your own vinyl commodore stickers if you want to slap on on and pretend its a new commodore computer...
 
One thing I'm sure of... If this joker running this "company" really had good intentions he would not have started off by plagerizing his website from apple, or lying about having the rights to the name, then changing his story to "negociating for the rights now". Its ridiculous.

On commodore USA's main page, all but hidden by using grey text on a grey background...

"Commodore® is the trademark of Commodore Licensing, GV, registered in the U.S.
and other countries. Logo used with permission, pending licensing rights, and
used for illustrative purposes only."

No right whatsoever legally or morally to use the commodore name. Just another person trying to rape the commodore/amiga corpse.
