Yeah, we should all license the Name.  

"We are Amiga!"


I liked that so much, in the true tradition of all things Commodore & Amiga I've nicked it for use under my name here... :D

I am thoroughly convinced that Amiga Inc. is the worst of all the bad Amiga trademark holders.  It seems that McEwen is intent on destroying the name completely.  He obviously doesn't really care about Amiga.  I suppose that nothing can be done about this ongoing debacle.

EDIT: Can anything be done?  (I mean anything legal.)


When it comes to the Amiga name it don't matter whether it's legal or not the only ones making money from the Amiga name anymore are the ruddy lawyers... :madashell:

Everyone just feel free to use the Amiga name and all things related to it to use and brand anything from a sack of onions to a top of the range PC and flog em on eBay or wherever... :)

What they gonna do... lock us all up... FREEDOM FOR THE AMIGA... :D

Well, first you have to realize that the # you have in mind might be somewhat different than what -they- have in mind.
Then you might want to consider, as I posted elsewhere:


"@Pluritas (who won't read this much less dare to respond)

Can you state for fact that you are requesting NDA and honoring same before entering into any discussions?"

Problem is that you can't reduce it to price/#of users.
That would be enough challenge.
But how about when the 1st person asks, "what am I going to get out of this" and you rapidly discover that each camp will now need its own bounty since no one can agree on even what to have for lunch.

True. Maybe we can collect donations in order to buy it and then make it public domain ;)

Well we have 60p so far, that's 12 bob, a bit high for the Amiga computer name since everyone and their uncle seem to have rights to it.  Any body want to throw in half a crown?

I guess 2s/6d isn't even possible in the UK anymore, we don't have a half crown coin any more here in Oz, but we've got a full size florin (20 cents) and six pence (5 cents), to get us there.

It is in my wallet (as I don't open it very much), in fact I'm pretty sure I've still got some gold doubloons in there that Long John Silver gave me when I was just a cabin boy... :)
