Aaah!
Thankyou zee4. A few posts earlier (downix's and others) kinda gave me the impression that AInc had gone under. Guess me just got confused, sorry
Anyway, than you again for the information, and I feel a little happier about the survival of my favourite computer now ^_^

 Not quiet the best of pictures actually.  With them being locked out of their office because of back rent due, being sued, successfully, by atleast one of their ex-employees for back wages and insurance, it's a question on when the VC will allow them to go under.  Which may or may not be a blessing to Hyperion.

It's not secret that I have had a very low opinion of Amiga Inc for many years now.  After reading what they did to atleast one low level employee, they have well earned my contempt.  Now they are playing hide and seek with the money the court has awarded their now ex-employee, how safe do you feeel about the survival of your Amiga (which I take it is a real Amiga and not a TeronONE mobo?)?

... buying Amiga Pocket Packs manufactured and marketed by Microsoft. A dead body has never done so much.

If your not so dead, how about paying off your overdue debts?  If your not so dead, why have you NOT paid the court ordered monies to Peck.  You must remember him, he's one of your former employees you screwed over.  Guess he's too low level for you guys to worry about, huh?  That's what the sucker gets for his devotion and loyality to Amiga Inc., stabbed in the back?  

Why are certain employees being paid by methods designed to circumvent those you owe debts to?   What type of slimey deadbeat would do that to their former employee?  Oh yeah, your in bed with Microsoft, I forgot. Screw the little guy over, it's the Microsoft's way afterall and you've learned it well.   You all make me sick.

It's good that Amiga Inc may make some money, I'm sure Mr. Peck will be more then willing to get any payments to Amiga Inc garnished.

@Dammy

Don't you mean garnisheed, unless you think Mr. Peck would like parsley on his money?

Hey, I'm just helping out Ben with his "illiterate Americans" statements.  See, I help out both sides. ;P

So what is left of Amiga Inc that is worth anything of value now?

but it seems very strange to me that other people's money should be used to pay of their distributors' depth.

If Amiga Inc is forced to turn over any monies to those parties which have a judgement against them, Amiga Inc will still owe you monies.  They'll just have to owe it to you is all.  You trust them, right? ;^)

They have no employees (they have volunteers)

I wonder if IRS considers that as taxiable?  IRS can tax bartering, they probably can tax Amiga Inc getting these benefits of professional volunteer's work?   Anyone know the IRS tax code enough to comment?

Just like the auctioners here legally had to allow items to be removed from the auction, since they are loans to Amiga Inc, deptors can not claim money that is legally someone else's money.

Debt and property have different coverage under the law so let's not blur the possible problem.  Amiga Inc will owe you your royalities, regardless on who gets paid first.
 Amiga Inc may be required to pay existing debts first before they can pay off new debts, such as royalities to you.  

I have a cousin who had such an experience.  The publisher of his code (back in the days of Vic-20 games) went under and never paid on it.  Court ordered judgements had a highier priority then my cousin's work so guess who got screwed? ;-\

I mention this specifically to request that site members (of any site reading this), please lay off of the auction company. They are not responsible for the current condition of Amiga Inc and they're only doing their jobs as auctioneers. They have no agenda, and this is not their fault.

 Interesting to see those miserable little wanking Amiga Inc supporters are just as pathetic on the phone as they are behind a keyboard.  

I wonder how long it's going to be before the first pics of Amiga Inc hardware being sold off to the highest bidder, hits the net.    I know, I need to be kind.  So how about those who have won your bids in for the Amiga Inc auction please save the shipping cardboard.  McEwen maybe needing it as his new house. :->

I realize English is probably not your first language, but understand what has really happened. Last year in June of 2002, Amiga Inc was locked out of their offices after not paying there rent for a substantial amount of time. This year (in fact yesterday) all of the contents of that office were auctioned off, the fact Netventures (which now owns 50% of the company according to McEwen) did nothing to stop the auction yesterday, and has done nothing to pay the creditors (of which there are many) should not give anyone a warm fuzzy that they are going to save Amiga Inc.

That's interesting because Gary Peake says NV does not own 50%, or anywhere where near it, nor have they.  So who's telling the truth?  I wish Wayne would hurry up and get the significant portions of the Depo online for us. =)
