In an Italian forum was reported this site:

http://www.amigausa.com

It seems something old, anyway I guess it does an illegal use of Amiga, AmigaOS and other trademarks...

@andres

After looking at that site, I think there is a lot of Bull Dust, smoke and mirrors.

What a load of "insert favourite noun here"

@andres

It works in IBrowse, and you can scroll the header graphic up and down.

It seems to act like an Amiga retailer. And tries to clone the Amiga Inc site it looked like. But I doubt they have been around since 1983? So they are claiming to be the orginal Amiga company form the US? Did someone in the US finally buy the Amiga out?

Seem they are not interested in NG Amiga but only OldG Amiga.

Prbably just doesn't know who owns the Amiga trademark and put up a site to attract the owner rather than just searching the trademarks database....

Anyway, if I was in Hyperion, would send an email to them demanding the removal of the site because of numerous trademarks violations...

No Hyperion trademarks were harmed in the development of the site, but it does appear to tread on some Amiga Inc ones....
