@AmigaKit Two questions...

When exactly did you ever produce an Amiga magazine?

What product of yours is called 'Amiga Addict'?

The action AmigaKit are taking action against Amiga Addict is despicable. The magazine is an enterprise driven by enthusiasts and does not compete with anything Amiga Kit do. Perhaps they are worried about Amiga Future magazine sales (a magazine they sell). AK should be grateful for the existence of AA as it surely encourages people to use their Amigas more and in the end buy more stuff.

Oh well, AmigaKit seem determined to alienate the community that keeps them in business. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Idiots.

Maybe someone (Amiga Corp?) should go after AmigaKit for their use of the word 'Amiga' for all these years and the money they have made from it.

You know you're not wanted! We are a peaceful bunch of retro users who just want to read a magazine and buy a 9-pin joystick switcher with CD32 compatibility (still waiting for the boards to be populated). But instead you're getting paid for sucking the blood out of a hobby/cottage industry that doesn't have the money to spare. Leave Amiga Addict alone and stop giving bad council to a company that can ill afford to alienate its customer base in this way!

... unless I am speaking to Ben in which case; I completely understand! You are just trying to take every single last Amiga entity down with you! You're nearly there brother, just keep pulling that thread!





“AeonKit” showing their true colors!

And they don’t even own Amiga, yet they act like it’s theirs! Gradually they have imitated the aesthetics of logotypes, traditional Amiga model numbers, they have registered intrusive domains and trademarks in various outskirt jurisdictions. And this is what it boils down to. Parasites!

@Thread

It must be Ben's Sith apprentice because legal@amigakit.com sure sounds like him on Twitter:

The TM7A form is *not* opposition. It is simply a formal standard mechanism to give us up to a month to communicate with Simulant Systems Ltd.



So legal threats are now a standard mechanism in Amiga-land!
