Nysus, I agree with some of what you say, but I have to take issue with a certain point...

Where are you pulling this "2 year" time limit out of? Thin air? Your ass? Are you saying this legal time limit is the same everywhere in the world? C'mon now. I know of no such time limit.
Granted, if it is now 2 years since the design was made, I'd have to say that Amp is a helluva lot more patient than I would be in this situation. But like Buck has said, there are a lot of extenuating circumstances to consider as well.
Bottom line is, you can't argue with what is right and what is wrong. The original designer deserves to be paid, no question about it. No courT in any country would argue with that.
