There are numerous C64 emulators available on the web, most of them free. A quick Google search for "Commodore 64 emulator" turned up thousands of hits. Who'd pay for a "retro C64" when the market has already been satisfied for free?

Unauthorized use of the Commodore name by other organizations will be stopped, Tulip said in the statement.

Sounds like anyone posting an emulator on the web for downloads will be targeted.

Yes, it certainly does. Get 'em while they're still available.

Good luck to them. The software is all public domain now. They can prevent the use of the name, but who cares what they call it, the emulators aren't going away.

They can't stop an emulator from being downloaded, but they can stop the ROMS for the games... even though the machine is obsolute the copyrights are still valid on the code.
