Commodore trademark has a new daddy

[haywirepc]

I don't understand how someone can sell exclusive worldwide rights to something someone else already had been given rights to in a previous legal agreement, but then thats just the dirtball kind of thing we've got to expect from silly billy over at the joke of amiga inc. I guess he needed to do something because the sales of his snowman app (Their only product in HOW many years) have been slipping lately. :roflmao:

Also, what happened to their tablets? Their "SHOP" does not work for how long now. I guess they didn't have money to actually buy and rebrand those things.

Also...saying your buying NON amiga commodore ip is kind of strange. What do you then own? commodore pet,vic20, c64/65 and 128 basic roms? I suppose the commodore name and the right to use it for anything you want is worth something, but I can't imagine what pre-amiga commodore IP is worth.

Interesting... I hope they do something good with the name but given their track record so far, I'm not holding my breath.

Maybe the soap opera keeps some interested. I have to admit I check here to see whats the latest drama.

Some of the soap opera...Its definitely kept me interested in amiga goings on I suppose.

As far as CUSA I don't think they ever can recover from their past.

Its hard to forgive a "company" that is based on lies, half truths, website text stolen from apple, fake pictures, all the announcements of new products that never see the light of day, stickers slapped on existing products, claims of a 30 million dollar advertising budget, insulting every other amiga camp, stolen website graphics, claims of their products in retail stores that never become truth, claims they will make 25,000$ workstations with an amiga badge that never materialize as real products and so much more.

If they just shut up, stop lying, stop running on hype and deliver real products instead of hype and lies, people could evaluate and base their opinions on what they produce (instead of basing your opinion on their long list of bull****) maybe they would garner better support from retro fans and amiga enthusiasts.

The Amiga curse is in full effect on them. They are like the perfect continuation of a long list of Amiga grave robbers making wild claims and never delivering anything of any real value to people who care about Amiga.

To me, it just appears to be some guy with some money who is paying to fuel some fantasy that he is the owner of a company he once respected and liked in his younger years, and he's doing a horrible job of it so far.

AND I think the legal stuff with amiga is a real joke. I still think everyone who cares about amiga should make and start selling their own version of a new commodore amiga, put the boingball, checkmark and Commdore AMIGA logo on it and lets see if they can really claim ownership of those things and prove it.
Barry, Silly Billy and all the other amiga grave robbers would bankrupt themselves trying to prove ownership, when the real truth is they can't.

So far, no one has ever proven in court they own roms, logos, trademarks, or anything else related to amiga. What especially AINC does not want you to know is that since they illegally transferred "assets" to a shell to avoid paying back investors (a criminal act) they can not continue to profit from that criminal act, ask any attorney. Yet they have for years and we've let them.

The truth is they can't really prove ownership of anything. Just like cloanto can't really prove why it has been robbing the amiga community for years for roms that are 15+ years old now that no one really owns.

And we all just let the amiga grave robbers continue to try and rob people for a history and a legacy that WE the users should really own.

Meanwhile, there are worthwhile projects like AROS, Icaros, AEROS, IMICA,MORPHOS, Netami, minimig/minimigaga and so on being developed by people who obviously have a real passion for amiga. They can't use the amiga name, boingball or whatever because the amiga grave robbers won't let them.
Yeah that makes sense...

I agreee... If the rumors that they have also bought amiga.org are true... Myself and most others will be leaving for amigaworld or other options leaving this place to be an internet ghosttown. Much like cusa.org or whatever they have now if you look at it that proves that they sold maybe 100 computers,
to uninformed dumbasses.



I hope the rumors are not true.

I'm a bit confused by the spaghetti mess and what it means. Does this mean that cusa's announcement of owning the commodore brand name and ip is now bull**** like everything else they have announced? Sounds to me like not only is that now bull****, but they may not have the legal right to use the brand name commodore anymore.... See http://www.commodorecorp announcement...http://www.commodorecorp.com/

Maybe dammy their puppet would like to chime in on this?

I'm surprised none of the cusa lovers or puppets or they themselves hasn't said anything. I would think losing the rights to use your company name or not would be an awfully important thing that you should address, but then...

I guess they are trying to figure out how to lie they way out of this if it does turn out they lost they name rights. (And the ip announcement was bull**** too)
