OTM?

Dear Amiga magazines and Amiga games buyers, My name is Fabio Bizzetti, I
am the author of the game "Virtual Karting" published in the October 1995
by  OTM Ltd.  The reason why I am writing this letter is to, finally, let
everyone  know  the  real  nature  of OTM Ltd and their violations to the
contract  they made with me for the publication of my product, violations
finalized  to  defrauding  me  of  my  last  royalty  payments, once they
understood I was not going to let them publish any of my future products.

 ---

All began when I signed the contract with OTM Ltd for the pubblication of
my  program  "Virtual Karting", after having been convinced by their many
promises about good marketing strategies and so on.

Besides all their bad management, that has meant extremely high costs for
production  (by  the way:  my request to check a copy of the invoices has
been  refused),  they also always made every kind of resistance and delay
in providing the quarter author reports and royalties payment, that I got
only  making promises that I would have let them publish my future games.
Last  delay  has been 2 months long, violating the contract they made and
we   both   signed  that  considered  as  maximum  delay  14  days  (with
pre-announce, that by the way has never been made).

In all these months I've got thousands promises, "explanations", excuses,
while their real intention was to rip me off.

Because  of  their initial refuse to show me the proofs of their honesty,
and  the consequent my request to remove from their publishing plans list
all  my  products,  they  didn't  pay me all the outstanding payments and
neither  provided  the  author  reports, violating openly the contract we
signed.

Now  my intention is to let everyone publically know how criminal OTM Ltd
and  the  person of Steven Rennocks are, and also to get all my own money
in  every legal possible way.  I won't let them rip me off nor rip others
off anymore.

The  only  deeply friendly advice I can give to Trevor Mensah and all the
other developers that are going to trust OTM is to not trust any of their
saintly  words  and  to get the game published by someone else while they
are still in time, changing the name/logo of the game or waiting that the
law  punishes OTM Ltd for the facts concerning the violations of "Virtual
Karting"  contract.   Steve  Rennocks  and  OTM Ltd are certainly able to
enchant  people  with  promises,  but  they  remain simple liar dishonest
bastards.

I  will provide photocopies of the contract and of all the author reports
and  cheques  made  until now, including the last author report that they
provided  some  months ago where they openly contraddict themselves about
the payment to make and payment done.  The last payment and author report
has  not  been  made, violating the contract once more.  All my trials to
get  in touch with them have been useless, they dont want to pay what the
contract  we  both signed and the law says they have to pay; my own money
coming from my own work.

Please  contact me for further informations, to get the documents, and/or
for advice about how to proceed legally against OTM.
