btw I reread his message to us, and I don't think it is arrogent, I think it is realistic. He doesn't think the amiga crowd is big enough to concern himself with. He is probably right. Its a bussiness of corse he is doing it for money, what the heck is wrong with that?

 
Errr, the amiga/commodore 8bit retro crowd is pretty much is ONLY potential customers. No one else would pay a premium for a Cybernet PC with a retro label slapped on it, except a minority of hobbyists who like the novelty. You don't really think these products will make store shelves in national chains, do you?!?

Yeah, Piru is certainly going overboard with this picture business and the way Commodore USA used Marko's picture on their web page.  With all the other copyright infringement that goes on in this world, one has to wonder why he's so angry about this case.  Could be that he just doesn't like AROS?  That's my opinion for what it's worth.  MorphOS has missed the boat by being ported to a a new architecture.  Maybe Commodore USA is cutting into his sales of MorphOS by offering PCs pre-loaded with AROS?

Will all due respect, that is quite a stretch.

Yeah, maybe Piru should just ignore Commodore USA and Barry.  Everybody else is.

Ignore copyright violators? Should we ignore people who sell pirate software on eBay or elsewhere?
