Amiga has filed an Appeal to their recently failed court case.
Amongst the respondents for Amiga inc are Garry Hare and Francis Charig.
Read it over on Amigaworld.net:http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1307
The second part of the news item's title, "Amiga Files Appeal!" has been removed to avoid confusion, since it seems this was not the correct legal term.

Amiga Vs Thendic Case : Comment 18 of 20 | ANN.lu |

Hey, Christian, shouldn't this "news" item's headline be changed? They did not file an appeal. Amiga, through newly acquired legal representation, is responding to the declarations filed by Thendic on 3/01. Not the same as filing an appeal, and to leave the headline as is indicates information which is not true.
Amiga is not appealing the judge's decision, as they probably want this whole thing to go away quickly without spending a lot of money. Instead, what they are doing is saying, "Fine, Buck, you won, here's a copy of AmigaDE to put on your hardware, because that's all we can give you. Good luck getting it to run."
The judge will clarify to both parties exactly what each is expected to give and receive. Each side is trying to persuade the judge to see the ruling from their POV.
Neither side looks good in this, btw. The only company I have sympathy for is Tao. They must wish they never signed anything with Amiga Inc. Hyperion, whom I admired for taking the initiative on OS4, is more than happy to go along with this KMOS nonsense, and for that they should be ashamed.
I watch this hilarious legal spectacle played out on my various Windows and Mac machines at home and office. Never would I purchase any products from any of these loser companies. None of them is doing anything to innovate the desktop user experience, and they're all as slimy as can be. They're just exploiting the wormy little euros (and our own little American wacko EyeAm) who still think an Amiga computer (never a truly successful product in the US, by any business standard) can compete with seasoned desktop offerings from MS, Apple, and the various Linux distros. It will never happen. And I think that's great. |
