  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

ASSIMILATE reponse to Autodesk

Fight 'em good!

Autodesk is trying to take over the world...
 
XSI just sold to Autodesk ! Damn it seriously
 
Good job Lucas.

Autodesk trying to sue you guys because you have twirl dials and yes/no boxes is frikkin' ridiculous. If they feel they need that to maintain a competitive advantage, then they are f***ed.

Now how about storing color settings in the RedCine XML file, either as values or a BLOB... pretty please?

...and a smaller icon option for the Library view?

;)

Hang in there Lucas!!!

Good luck, Lucas.
 
ridiculous lawsuit anyway.....

if they lose the court battle they'll probably offer to buy Assimilate...

you must be doing something right to catch there attention...
 
I hope Assimilate wins... this kind of lawsuit is no good for the end users.

If they feel they need that to maintain a competitive advantage, then they are f***ed.

Perhaps they are suing because there is potentially high upside if they win (mostly for the lawyers). And if they lose, they get to harass a competitor and tie up their time. Then again, they could be giving Assimilate some free publicity. (Heck, if I were in Assimilate's position I would thank Autodesk for the compliment.)

On the other hand, what's up with the tax evasion? Both companies are incorporated in places they don't have offices in (e.g. Autodesk in New Brunswick, Assimilate in Delaware). Of course, these are companies with responsibilities to their shareholders/backers so they arguably should reduce their taxes as much as possible.
 
New Jersey was actually the first pro-corporate state with delaware following.

A Delaware corporation is a corporation that has its legal business affairs registered in the US State of Delaware. The corporation or business does not actually have to be in business or do any type of business in the State of Delaware, but it must be registered as a business there. The corporation can be a limited liability company or a sole-operated business.

Almost half of the businesses listed on the Fortune 500 are Delaware corporations. The reason for this may be that, because of the amount of businesses in the State, the courts in Delaware are very experienced in corporate law. If a limited liability company is sued, the courts in Delaware can provide better guidance and counsel than other courts due to their greater experience.

There are many other distinct advantages to registering or chartering your business as a Delaware corporation. Delaware’s business laws are some of the most flexible and pro-businesses laws in the nation. You can become a Delaware corporation from anywhere in the world. You do not have to live or conduct your business in Delaware.
