neues / 3 SAT Pegasos show cancelation confirmation / rescheduling expected : Comment 55 of 116 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Joe "Floid" Kanowitz on 23-May-2002 23:34 GMT | In reply to Comment 9 (Henning Nielsen Lund): Cripes! Hold the phone, everyone, and have another read of the translation Mr. Lund was kind enough to post...:

Now, I'm not fluent enough in Deutsche to even try reading the original text, but I'm betting whatever Babelfished as 'occupied' has a meaning closer to 'preempted.' I'm not sure exactly how 'big' the position of regional Minister of Justice is (similar to the Chief Justice of a state's Supreme Court in the US?), but I'm sure the man has a busy schedule, and the chance to air a ranking official locking horns with a representative of the German equivalent of the SBA is not an opportunity a good show would pass up.
A company like bPlan will surely be eager to come back the next week/next month, but Herr Mertin might not.* If TechTV ever tried tackling an actual issue, I'm sure Amiga Inc.'s airtimes would be bumped around as well.
While we all love the controversies and trademark issues, it looks like they played no part here (though bPlan can use the extra time to clarify their position to the producers)...
*Yeah, if it were an exclusive with Gates or Jobs, they'd surely bump the Minister... but nobody in the NG Amiga scene has acheived Gates' or Jobs' aura, yet... :) |
