[Piru]

You are kidding, right?

[amigakid]

[ChaosLord]

Not all of us obsessively follow the political shenanigans and  revolving door officers of the various Amiga factions.

Sorry I asked such a simple question.

Buck is working on a big deal with Motorola, he even went as far as to sponsor a recent Motorola event in Texas. He might have money coming back in, being the con-artist that he is, he always succeeds in that in the end.

:lol:

Ben Hermans was the head of Hyperion Entertainment and one of the managing parterns of the company. He is assumably, by his statement, a laywer and drafted the original licening contract between Hyperion and Amiga, Inc (Washington).

Garry Hare was, from what I understand was brought in by the Amiga, Inc. investors as, the CEO of KMOS, Inc.  Which purchased AmigaDE from Amiga, Inc. (Washington) and then Amiga OS from Itec, Inc. Amiga, Inc. (a Washington Corp.) has sold the Amiga OS assest to Itec, Inc. to presumably concentrate on AmigaDE. After these two assest acquisition, KMOS, Inc. renamed itself Amiga, Inc (a Deleware Corp).

Garry, Alan,

I think the time is now just about right to start up legal proceedings in the EU against
MorphOS/Genesi/bPlan.

The US based litigation is very limited in scope and purely defensive.

Moreover, Buck is drafting most of his own legal briefs (and it shows) with his lawyer
only brushing up the briefs which allows him to keep the costs down.

In the EU I intend to file in Dutch which will make that impossible.

Being the control freak that he is, Buck would probably insist on everything being
translated or at least very extensive briefs from his lawyer.

Fees will go through the roof, especially because the issue at hand requires highly
specialised knowledge and you can't hire a sole practisioner for this type of litigation.

Buck is working on a big deal with Motorola, he even went as far as to sponsor a recent
Motorola event in Texas. He might have money coming back in, being the con-artist that he
is, he always succeeds in that in the end.

We have an opportunity here to overwhelm his resources and obtain an executory judgement.

Alan has already agreed to join the legal battle which I would wage on two fronts with two
separate actions, one with Hyperion/KMOS as plaintiffs, one with Eyetech/Hyperion/KMOS and
possibly Amiga as plaintiffs.

I have gathered all required information, done all the preliminary research, briefed all
appropriate people within our firm.

We're ready to go.

I believe it should be possible to get these actions filed and well under way for 10K euro
which is bearable between the three/four companies involved.

Your thoughts, comments?

Best regards,

--
Ben Hermans

What a bunch of scumbags.

[Tomas]

Sigh.. My views of Amiga INC versus Hyperion is changing alot.. It is starting to look more and more like Hyperion is rotten like hell as well.  :-(

[PulsatingQuasar]

Every company is rotten like hell. Just as soon as stake holders, share holders, investors and just plain money come in to play it all goes wrong and in the end the customer pays for the stupid behavior of a few morrons.
