Quoted from Mr68:Where the hell did I ever say that!
You even quoted yourself saying it... in that same post.

Quoted from Mr68:You know, the pinball machines that you believe for some ridiculous reasons are ARA assets that they could just simply sell
They are ARA property. Incomplete work done by ARA for a customer. That the customer has not paid for.
If ARA runs a bunch of PCBs for a customer order and that customer bails - The customer doesn't own the PCBs. They are inventory that the manufacturer built. This project has the extra complexities of who owns the IP, and the fact there is licensed material involved complicating the transactions... but doesn't change how simple law works. Having the IP doesn't make the goods yours.
What are you gonna say now? No more MaufacturingARGUMENTS because they don't line up with your passion ones?
Let's be truthful Kim - Do you know the terms that the manufacturing done by ARA was done under? No
Do you know who really owns the intellectual property of all the parts of this project? No
Do we know ARA was in the position of authority to hold all the parts and works in progress? YES
And why would that be? Because ARA likely structured it all so THEY own all the work they did.. especially since they were fronting it.
Do you have any citable source that says there is a court order that these assets are to be frozen until ARA's own lawsuit is resolved? I'll wait.
