[News] Serious allegations about H&P | ANN.lu |

Amigo follows up on serious allegations about H&P and says: "I also just asked Unisys as it says here, and am waiting for a reply. If true, H&P could probably be forced to close."
[ If H&P indeed didn't pay royalties for Unisys' GIF algorithm, they might not be forced to close per se, but if this is indeed true, and Unisys decides to sue, they might have to pay some serious fines. Also note that while this is not in unmoderated, it's highly speculative, unconfirmed and generally should be taken with the usual grain of salt - CK ]

Serious allegations about H&P : Comment 25 of 164 | ANN.lu |

If somebody gives you facts which can easily be verified, why is that not enough for you? I did my homework.
> So you are just stirring up trouble against H&P
> possibly on some private vendetta.
True, I consider myself one of the "victims" of H&P. Only, suing them is too expensive. I don't have the money. Do you? But I am just saying the truth, and you can verify it.
> If you really had a point, you would ask H&P for information
> and you would ask the other parties involved as well.
I cerainly did, before speaking. Both directly, at trade shows, and indirectly, asking the other parties involved.
> You would not just come here and spout off your theories as the truth.
So far I have not see a bit of evidence of the contrary. But ArtEffect and AmigaOS XL are solid evidence for me. I know what is contained on those products.
> Did you know that even anonymous proxy providers

No problem. I am not the one who should fear. I am just wondering why you seem to be more interested in knowing who these anonymous posters are, than if what they say is true. I asked Unisys, why don't you?
Look, just to do something new... There are two videos and lots of images from movies on AmigaXL, just to mention one recent H&P product:
Charlie's Angels - (c) Columbia TriStar Interactive
Monsters - (c) Buena Vista International, Inc.
Star Trek - (c) Paramount Pictures Corporation
Yet there is no copyright information on that CD. I am pretty sure, as in their usual style, H&P did not even ask, they just grabbed these items and put them on CD. Otherwise some legal notice would be on the CD. I cannot verify everything, so would you like to help me, and contact these companies?
BTW I see that several people seem to use the same IP. I guess it is everybody who uses anonymizer.com. I only wrote two or three posts. |
