Their track record so far really does suck. I hoped they learned a lesson from stealing graphics, stealing website text straight from apple.com,slapping vinyl stickers on existing products, announcing all these new products and then pulling them from their website and not shipping any of them,alienating the aros community, then the os4 community,and just generally doing things wrong.
Imagine if they had not done all that, how many attitudes would be different towards them? Probably alot. They may be just another story in the long line of amiga grave robbers. Time will tell I suppose.
Personally, I think the whole thing is kind of funny. I plan on starting my own amiga company. I will use the commodore and amiga names, I will give away the kickstart roms and whatever software old authors will let me, and I wll be laughing if Silly Billy, AINC, Hyperion, CUSA or anyone else spends tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers trying to stop me because they won't be able to. I think EVERYONE in the amiga community should do the same thing. Imagine if 300 new amiga companies all of a sudden sprang up. Could they sue everyone? No way. No way in hell. It would end all this nonsense pretty fast, and put AINC out of the amiga grave robbing business.
