Shifting the Sands of the TradeMark...

[CodeSmith]

William Hamilton Buck is presumably the full name of the guy we all know as Bill Buck, aka bbrv.

William → Bill, drop the middle name (like 90% of people do) and there you go!  :-D

Why do parents bother to give their kids middle names anyway? no-one I've ever met uses them...

I see the page has contact numbers for the attourneys involved in the case.

Please people, do NOT make an ass of yourselves (and the rest of the amiga crowd) by harassing these people.  If you think Bill Buck does not deserve the amiga trademark, send a reasonably-worded email explaining the fact as you see them.  The last thing I want to read on Slashdot is "trademark lawyer mailbombed by amiga nuts".  That is the kind of publicity we DO NOT need.

Personally, as long as I get to run Hyperion's AmigaOS4, I don't care what else runs on the computer and who owns the name...

@TMHGM:
Sorry, that's not how I operate.  I simply followed the link, and when I saw the lawyer's contact info the first thing that came to mind was the auction house, as you mentioned.  If you look at my posts, I have a few times already asked people not to bug "outsiders" who have no idea of our little games.  As I said, as long as I'm running the Frieden's OS I don't give a rat's ass as to who the current owners of the trademarks are (it's not like it's not been owned by everyone and his dog anyway).

I repeat: if anyone construed my comment as a veiled invitation to bug these people, DON'T.  I am not Machiavelli, if I wanted to organize a protest I'd just ask for it.
