Hyperion takes bat, swings for McBill's head!

Which PDF had the signed contract between Hyperion and AI WA for the additional work Hyperion said it was going to do, and for how much?  Or wasn't there a signed contract for any additional work?

I don't remember seeing it, but I don't remember seeing any dispute over whether Amiga Washington did indeed Hyperion money outside of the $25K buyback clause. I think there was a question as to how much the amount was and of course as to whether it matters in the context of the current case. It's possible I'm just misremembering though. All the documents are already starting to blur together in my mind and the way they're named doesn't make it easy to go find things again.

I went back and looked around a bit: this pdf does contain an invoice from Hyperion to Amiga Wa and an e-mail from Fleecy to Hans-Joerg Frieden mentioning said invoice and that it was unpaid.

It's interesting reading that e-mail. It seems Hyperion and Amiga may have been on rocky terms for quite some time. I could help but want to see more e-mails in the chains of conversation we got glimpses of through these various documents.

There are some things I left out that should probably be included for a proper summary, but I think I got most of the main points.

Why don't you go point by point with Tigger on where he is wrong?

Why should I? I'm not ripping anything out of him, just expressing that in my personal view 'the (fraudulent) way that Amiga Inc done things' (i.e- shell game) is enough to shatter the Amiga case..

[amigakid]

Yes definately.  Well hopefully something good will come from this and soon.  Cheers

Problem is the whole "bancruptsy-clause" is just another part of AIncs "fraudulent way of doing things".

The last thing Hyperion should want is someone taking a closer look into AInc's past action cos one thing is sure if the IP goes up for auction the !whole! contract is gonna be voided.

@Kronos:
So it seems.. still I don't know where Amiga will get another company to do their AmigaOS 4, probably they will just redo the contract, after all they were willing to pay 2M weren't they...

For that type of money, bet they could get MOS for OS5.  Then again, they can download OS5 from here.

That numeral came from the mouth of the beast, referring to the brothers...

I hope no one is holding their breath awaiting an outcome. . .  :roll:   This isn't going to be a quick case.   :-x

Morph OS 2.0 will be out and on its way to 2.5 long before this case is through.

Maybe even longer, because the way they are going, neither party will end up a winner.  And we the community (as related to OS4) will be the loser.   :-x

Is there a possibility that interested parties may be investing in Hyperion (financially or resources) thus encouraging or instigating this course of litigation?

Ultimately I'm sure there's a number of parties who would like to see the Amiga IP released from McEwen & co's control. Is the case being treated as a golden opportunity?

It's just another tale of woe in the saga that is Amiga.  The motion is up for Friday the 13 of July.. Yes Friday the 13th!.  Lets hope that is bad luck for Amiga Inc.  If all the alligations are correct (and we know a lot are) AI are nothing more than crooks.
I only hope Hyperion's interests are not just for themselves or their intellectual investment but also for the good of Amiga.

Your just NOW figuring this out?

Looks like your hopes are badly misplaced. :roll:
