Amiga Inc. Plans to Shutdown Illegal Uses of Amiga IP : Comment 79 of 172 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 29-Jul-2002 12:51 GMT | In reply to Comment 77 (David Scheibler): > Not really. IIRC Juergen Haage said in a first statement (month ago, in

Yes, and Martin Steigerwald has also reiterated that same statement on the mailing list. Neither is willing to elaborate on specifics, though.
> So H&P thinks they own a right for distributing ROM images,
It is curious as to how they would explain this. H&P have NEVER had a right to distribute ROM images. The only way they could have obtained such rights would have been by signing a contract, which Herr Haage has admitted he refused to do.
> Amiga Inc does not think so. It's for a court to sort those things out.
Yes. Hopefully soon after 1st of September 2002, with appropriate action against anyone taking liberties where they are not entitled to.

Whether they have additional motivation is irrelevant. The only question is if anyone is doing anything illegal or not. It's hight time any crooks are cleaned out of the Amiga scene for good. |
