As shocking as it is, I feel the same 
Anyway, about Amiga inc's "OS4 sabotage" and samface's car analogy (Guy takes car to repair shop, refuses to pay, wants his car back, pays late but still doesn't get the car, and just like in "our case" the case is taken to the court and they make the decision)
Anyway, would the repair shop owners friends start complaining, if the original owner of the car didn't give / rent for cheap price his CD player aswell, brand new trailer etc. for use with his "stolen" car?
In a similar fashion, why would Amiga inc. keep on licencing further hardware platforms when Hyperion actively refuses to fill their part of the contract (and sell back the OS)
Remember that there have been negotiations about buyback long ago, it's just recently that the matter became public.
Yes, I know. Amiga inc. could still get money for licences etc. WAIT, I just got an idea!
Why don't we just ask Microsoft give us exclusive rights to Windows Vista? We could pay them licence money for each and every copy sold, so they would STILL be earning money! Sounds like a win-win situation, doesn't it?
Why haven't they already done something like this? Maybe it's just that no-one asked!  |
See, the thing is, I have actually sued a mechanic who held one of my Fiero's hostage. I also had partially paid. As they say, "possession is 9/10 of the law". I eventually got my car back without paying the mechanic another dime, however, I paid my lawyer plenty. So I would say since Hyperion worked on OS4 and are in possession of the source, Amiga Inc's task will be harder to get it from them than people think.
I made it so he was spending more money on the lawyer than he was owed, so in order to stop the bleeding, he gave up the car, however I could have paid him off 10x over with what I paid the lawyer...however, I wanted to make sure HE didn't get another dime from me.
So with 10 lawyers comapared to Hyperion's 1, I wonder how long before they (KMOS) realize that it's just cheaper to settle out of court... |
