Amiga Case Designer Faces Intimidation

[cgutjahr]

Definately not you, that's for sure.  How about Amiga Inc?

See my reply to John. AInc doesn't defend anything these days - if CUSA is entitled to defend the IP, it's in their very interest to do so.

(not like this and not in this case, obviously - but that's no reason for this flamefest)

Edit:  In fairness, it isn't clear what I was congratulating Franko for

I really couldn't care less what you congratulate Franko for. He insulted other members, just go and fix that - it's your job, btw.

As AInc is certainly no longer protecting anything, it's up to Hyperion and CUSA to defend the trademarks unless they want them watered down so much that they get useless.

Yep. It's hard for the licensor (parent company) to protect any trademarked product they might have...when they have none. heh. So, it's up to the licensees.

Please be decent human being with a little bit of shame for Leos behavior.

Are you implying that I am not a decent human being?  What's with the personal attack?

Surely, every decent human being is feeling adequately to how Leo responded to X500 showcase.
(or take away person that had to do it, by C=USA response)

This is a friendly request from Sinclair UK, LLC, the licensee of the trademark, to remove the QL branding from the advertising of this unit.

But since all QL trademarks have been removed, problem of C=USA is ovecomed.

Looks more like Acorn machines than any Commodore case so I don't see the reason for C=USA showing their true colours to the community.

Think they don't like people showing up their Amiga/VIC Mini rubbish idea for the lack of effort

Looks like you've got a little interest over at the Atari-Forum Firebee board.

Maybe you should take a picture of the case with the Firebee logo and post it over there?

They should put Atari sticker and whatever was the high end expansion of Atari :-)

Amazing! I didnt login on the weekend and already theres an epic thread with legal threats sling match....  

I guess theres probably alot of temptation for other parties to sue in Commdore/Amiga land. Isnt that the Amiga story after commodore bankruptcy, I'll sue you no no I'll sue you.

Anyways Goodluck!  Its no good to just finish a product and then deal with crap like this.

I'm interesting in buying a case, but I've asked before without reply... What is the projected price, even ballpark? That would be nice to know before folks register interest in buying this...

Removed the tick

You can keep that. Noone has protected the tick since fall of Commodore, it has been used for 20 years by anyone without the need for any license - it's abandoned and public domain.

Well, sly threats are easier than providing support.

The funny thing is, they don't even own the righst to the Amiga name, they just license it.

Now why in the world would you start some silly flamebait thread title like that. How lame put I'm so tired of this anti Commodore usa crap. This guy put up a bunch of money and energy for this project. What are you guys doing to help amiga name out commercially? Exactly.

[darkage]

I do believe its probably not good to open a thread that would definitely be open to flaming..

Why dont we close the thread with the case designer just ship it without logos, and have printable logos where people can download then stick it on their own case if they like ?  After all it was sold without logos and endusers should be free to decorate their own cases  

Hell even CUSA could get into the sticker trade, making and selling their own stickers as long as cost isn't above $2

Wait, let me get this straight - TheDaddy is admirable for putting his own time and money into an Amiga-inspired project, therefore we should feel bad for disliking the company that harassed him about something that wasn't even wrong for him to do? Yeah, that makes sense.

And what exactly is C=USA doing to help the Amiga scene?

Exactly, they made a mistake assuming he was the kind of scum who stuck Commodore sticky labels on cases sold without a licence without reading the web page properly.....I wonder who has done that before before hmmm :lol:
