[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 30 of 164 | ANN.lu |

So let me ask you... Did you buy H&P CD? I find it interesting that someone who hates H&P so much would be so intimate with what's on that CD-ROM. Very interesting indeed.
I would also like to point out that copyright law does not fall under the criminal code but cival law. This means that it is up to the companies in question to take whatever action they feel like (or turn a blind eye). There's no reason for anyone else to get invloved. After all, these trailers are in effect FREE ADVERTISEMENT!!!! You can get them FREELY from their web site. Also, if you happened to watch any trailer the copyright notice (along with a rating warning and a release date) is included in the trailer itself! So what do I think? I think you're a loser nerd who desperatly needs to get laid! Good luck!
