Genesi Won Lawsuit against Amiga Inc.

[IonDeluxe]

If you have a serious complaint about the moderation on AO, talk to an AO staff member privately over p/e-mail. Otherwise don't be a pain or go elsewhere please.

WHats the point?
I have taken such things up with the vaunted webmaster and had NOTHING done about my complaints.

This is not news it is rumour only as it can't be publicly demonstrated as fact.

@KennyR
what pure claptrap.
If Genesi wanted the Amga name they could have bought it.
Hang on, Mr Bill Buck tried, failed and droveo drove phase 5 bankrupt in the [process!
Well I guess they could simply have agreed to the lisence terms AMiga Inc. set out, but Noooooooooo, they could not do that.
They could have developed Morphos to run on the AmigaOne, but nooooooo, yet they EXPECT Amiga Inc to port AOS4 to thier machine.
Of course this means nothing to you as BBRV is your personal hero, and I suspect your secrect unrequited love intrest, so just ignore this post as I would not want to shatter the fragile illusion you call reality.

I think we should not overrate this.. I mean its like this: Hyperion makes AmigaOs, Eyetech makes AmigaOne.. AmigaInc make.. ehm.. nothing..

So I see it like this: Even if amigainc goes bankrupt Hyperion will release Os4. And Eyetech will release the MicroAone. Who the hell cares about AmigaDE? And even if bbrv kills the amiga and names his pegasos amigasos or whatever, I dont give a f... why? because the amiga as a serious platform died a long time ago (sad but true).. if microaone comes(cheap) I will buy it.. if not, ill use os4 on my a4000.. if os4 dont get released, I will use 3.9 till my amiga collapses one day.. where is the problem, after all its just a hobby..

(sorry for my bad english)

@KennyR

do you think you can put a sock in it for once? we all know your feelings towards a inc, but we dont need to hear you rehashing them over and over again.

@everyone replying to kennyr

Give it up, KennyR has aright to his own opinions as do you. The thing is in times like these we should just keep them to ourselves, esspecially as none of us here know the full truth behind any of this.

@all

Can we just leave this thread alone now.. Enough has been said, A inc have lost, and the future is uncertain, so nothing has really changed. Lets all wait and see whats around the corner shall we, and lets continue to get along amicably

@Paul

 software which runs an Amiga emulator,

Hi, I don't really care alot about that story. But, if you are speaking about MorphOS when saying "software which runs an Amiga Emulator", you are wrong.
MorphOS is NOT an Amiga Emulator. MorphOS is a new PowerPC OS, whith an AmigaOS compatible layer. Actaully this layer, is the only visible part, but  the QBox should replace it in the future.


By the way, I would reply that some people sells official Amiga computer with Linux and UAE (Amiga Emulator) and without any AmigaOS

Bye

Now the lawsuit`s over, maybe both sides can get back to working on their products.

Not for the price that "Amga" Inc asked.

If you could win prizes for being clueless to this whole situation, you'd come away with top. Phase 5 and Bill Buck? :lol: You really need to get your facts sorted!

Of course this means nothing to you as BBRV is your personal hero, and I suspect your secrect unrequited love intrest, so just ignore this post as I would not want to shatter the fragile illusion you call reality.

All those comments on Ann and MooBunny about all the blind Fleecy lovers finally getting to you, IonDeluxe? Out for a bit of badly focused payback? Or is it just that you're having a really, really bad day because your beloved side suffered a huge defeat? Well, whatever, you're not a very effective troll. I recommend you find an anonymous proxy and make pseudo-sexual remarks about anyone who has a Pegasos and Bill Buck on ANN to cool off a bit. It's more representational of your sophistication level. Or relieve yourself in other ways, who knows. Whatever floats your boat.

That's clear enough, "...the licenced Amiga operating system"
== the Operating System by Amiga that was licenced by Genesi
== AmigaDE.

[QuikSanz]

Hi,

I don't have all the facts here but, I'll tell you for sure that I will NEVER have anything to do with any Genesi product. This leaves me with a bad taste.
I've ordered my A1, if its the last Amiga product so be it.

this reminds me of a phrase..

“Speech is silver. Silence is golden.”

[Argo]

are new pegasos users to recieve a DE player for Morphos sometime in the future?

Why would they? The contract was for use of AmigaDE on Thendic-France hardware products.

[Argo]

If AInc is guilty of anything, it's writing bad contracts with sharks like Bill Buck

Thendic-France's lawyers drew up the licencing contract for AmigaDE.

@Argo

That's an intersting point.

I'll amend my statement to the following:

AInc's biggest mistep may well turn out to be signing a bad contract with a company that had what appears to be better legal representation (i.e. swimming with sharks of the litigious kind:)

"AARGGH...them that's sued first'll be the lucky uns!" -- (Long John Silver after seeing "Pirates of the Caribbean")

"AInc's biggest mistep may well turn out to be signing a bad contract with a company that had what appears to be better legal representation (i.e. swimming with sharks of the litigious kind:)"

At the time of the contract signing, Amiga Inc was represented by a rather well respected legal firm.

Well I've never heard of you, do you want to try talking to me privately about them?  Furthermore, I never guaranteed that we would do as you tell us.

Quote from this news clip on AO:
News reached us that Genesi won the amiga lawsuit, although it has not been confirmed yet by either party.

Doesn't sound like it's being dressed up as fact to me.

My sentiments exactly, who cares about DE?
As for the name, nobody cares for that either except the psychos. I use mainly WinUAE for Amigaprograms and have a A1200-060 for DPaint and games and an A500 for older games. I´m just got the money to buy a Pegasos and a PC upgrade. When AOS4 gets out I will buy an Amigaone, when I can afford one.I try AROS sometimes and I´m convinced that someday AROS will run on all of the newer hardware that I have.
Why would I care about the name? I haven´t done that since I heard the phrase AmigaNG from Amiga Inc waaay back.
I don´t think printing the word Amiga on the Pegasos will sell even one extra board.
If Bill Buck want the name of an old dead computer
to put on the Pegasos boards he can use the trademark Compis.:lol: I can assure him that he won´t get sued.(It was a swedish made for schools computer that no one involved wants to remmeber)
Remmeber the only ones that always benefits from lawsuits is the lawyers.:lol:
