@tiffers AmigaInc took services and products from many individuals and companies, then decided not to pay for them. Try to call that something better than theft. They also sold product promotions to thousands of users, including myself. Then said they were under no obligation to deliver what we bought. AmigaInc also dumped on the Classic Amiga and said they would replace it with AmigaAnywhere, which they never did. That is the short version of a much more terrible story and I won't write more about it in this thread.
I'm sad Jamie ignores the people AmigaInc rips off and lies to, just because he personally doesn't get victimized by them. But, I think Jamie's post here is great and well stated. It is really good to see the time put into his response. Even in my disagreement, I enjoyed reading the whole thing. So, I hope his individual wishes for AVD become a reality. Good Luck.
I'm not condemning either side, but I disagree with his opinion that the "legal battle continues to exist because Hyperion wishes it." I'm sure that Amiga Inc. are "willing to resolve the issue" just as much as I'm sure that Hyperion wishes to resolve the legal spat too. The problem lies in finding a resolution that both sides find acceptable.
Still, Amiga Inc. have lost their credibility in my eyes, and based on what I've seen to date, I know who I'd prefer to "win" if there has to be a loser.
