Smart Parts Patent Will Destroy Paintball! - Read!

No_Skillz, you are missing the point (of my post, that is). I never said that they would continue to produce products, or even speculated. I stated that they believe that they will profit in the long run, despite possible bumps along the way.

The point is that many people here feel this will be a bad thing, but they also feel that sending letters or boycotting will stop it, which it most likely won't.

Sorry for the confusion.

(BTW, I saw an earlier post of yours where you said that boycotting would be useless, so we actually agree).

I wonder how this is going to affect the resale value of my freak

Are they any plans for the companies to come together and help eachother fight SP before they can get anything rolling? If these companies waited too long to fight a common foe(for every player) it might be too late.

now noone is actually saying that

It seems to me, if they win, the first thing to do is to petition NPPL and any other major paintball leagues to ban "electros" due to the "miss use" of the power of the boards.

Hmm, didn't that start with SP as well? Add up those switch bounces...

We've had differences in the past, but I have to agree...

Pipe-bombs? You may be on to something. I already have a beard, a windbreaker, and aviator sunglasses. Now all I need is a shack in the woods and I can start building away...

anyone on here an attourney?
just curious...
IF we could find a good (and hopefully Pro Bono) lawyer maybe we could bleed SP dry with a bunch of "frivilous lawsuits" over their products..
I can think of one right now...the freak barrel..the inserts are marked with a bore size and more often than not they aren't the size marked...which meas they are falsely advertised.
get a couple hundred people filing individually just over that in a few different states and jurisdictions and run the SP lawyers around and maybe it will be like the old story of the ants taking the giant down...
just imagine what a couple thousand P-O'd paintball players and a few attournies could do to them...

I can see the headlines now
MASS SUICIDE AT SMART PARTS HEADQUARTERS
Follow that with a sub header under that
COMPANY EXECUTIVES AND ATTOURNIES COMIT MASS SUICIDE OVER TIDE OF LAWSUITS AIMED AT SMART PARTS

**TransMan** · 07-21-2003, 09:53 PM

the way i see it what we have bought from SP in the past is done and we cant change that now so now what we do is not buy anyhting else from them

We don't want that. Isn't it better to have them grabbing their ankles in a Penn State prison shower?
