As reported at amiga.org:

Seems to be a list of useful but dated PCs, printers and furniture with a few PDAs thrown in.
I guess they will be most upset by the loss of the foosball table.

Amiga Inc auction items : Comment 22 of 70 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 04-Jun-2003 10:02 GMT | In reply to Comment 13 (Anonymous): > There is an awful lot of HD disks in the sale though,
You're kidding, right? That's one SMALL office suite, and a relatively tiny pile of equipment.
> I wonder if they all went through DoD-quality erasing (I doubt it).
I don't know, but neither the creditors or the auctioneers are entitled to sell or give away Amiga Inc's IP AFAIK, and the same applies to any confidential documents or information that may be on that equipment. Not taking the appropriate measures would leave both open to a counter-suit, if not from Amiga themselves (since I doubt Amiga Inc can afford to sue anyone, even when they have a rock solid case), then from anyone who might acquire Amiga Inc's IP in the future. When you consider the possible fallout, I know *I* would wipe it all clean rather than take the risk. The relative cost of doing so is peanuts, specially for the tiny amount of equipment involved.
Anyway, even if they are careless, what does it matter to us? Anyone who acquires the systems and finds any IP, sources, etc. on them still won't have the rights to any of it, so what's the point? That's assuming that anyone thinks those machines ever contained anything of value anyway. |
