"It saddens me greatly to announce that, effective today, any of my Amiga-related software development has been mothballed indefinitely. This means that, pending any unexpected developments, there won't be any "Amithlon v2" (aka "Berniethlon"), nor any further support or add ons for "Amithlon v1" by me."

"Berniethlon" - The End : Comment 171 of 221 | ANN.lu |
Posted by AdmV on 02-Dec-2002 14:35 GMT | In reply to Comment 169 (Christophe Decanini): I agree to some degree with your point. However, unless prepared to go to court, I would suggest an end to it.
If I WERE the writer of a copyrighted piece of code or writing, I would go to the ends of the earth to persue the people who breach it. Especially if they are a company.
The truth is that no-one in the amiga business has much money, and that there are other ways to skin a cat.
For instance, in the UK, you can make a complaint to agencies such as FAST or BSA.org OR trading standards. The seller can be raided. I am also sure that are organisations you can join who will help protect your rights and offer enforcement.
If H&P have breached a license, you could in theory raid their offices/shops, and have all copies /code removed, they could be fined, and you could claim damages.
I DO NOT BELIEVE that a copyright holder has no teeth, even if he is small. The issue is I think far more muddy and perhaps the IP / licensing in this instance does'nt have a single owner.
