Hang On Commodore 64 Nostalgia Nerds. Legal Trouble Is Brewing

It seems longer, but it was just a week ago that there was lots of excitement in tech nostalgia circles over an announcement that YouTuber Christian ‘Peri Fractic’ Simpson was taking pre-orders for a “new” Commodore 64. 

As if we all don’t have enough to keep up with, the news generated quite a bit of buzz. No word on if it generated actual pre-orders.

Well, for those thinking about joining the Commodore 64 nostalgia parade, there might be some legal hurdles on the parade route ahead.

Commodore Industries, S.r.l, is out with a press release claiming they still own what’s own-able regarding the Commodore 64 and offering documents and evidence. After all of the hype surrounding Simpson’s announcement Commodore Industries claims it is now time to “intervene” to set the record straight.

Quoting from the press release:

Mr. Christian Simpson (alias ‘Peri Fractic’) recently made statements on his YouTube channel, at different times, which were picked up by numerous media outlets and various newspapers, aimed at undermining our position, claiming to have ‘bought Commodore’ and describing our use of the trademark as ‘illegitimate’.

None of the initiatives launched in the United States give Mr Simpson the right and/or power to cancel or revoke our legitimate rights to the above trademarks.

Such claims are not only legally unfounded, but also compromise the truth and unjustifiably discredit a business project that has invested time, resources and expertise in relaunching the Commodore brand in a modern and technologically advanced way.

In closing the press release states:

Our goal remains the same: to continue to create real value for the brand and for the entire Commodore ecosystem. For this reason, we are ready to dialogue and collaborate with anyone who demonstrates, through their actions, a constructive spirit and respect for both the rules and the community.

#WeAreCommodore

The hashtag and bold typeface concluded the press release.

Sounds like some lawyers are going to make some money. No one ever gets nostalgic over that happening.
