PTP going after Brass Eagle

[Paintchucker]

Actually since the release was by PTP, how can 68caliber copyright it ???


And they spelled arbitration wrong...





I found this old press release: http://www.viewloader.com/article.asp?id=282

From back in 2005...

I found the Brass Eagle's President's quote ironic given the current situation...

Geez, guys, my question came after the article was pulled.

/understands the need for copyright protection
//Godwin?

[Lohman446]

I didn't see a threat. I saw something to the effect of noting it was copyrighted material and a comment calling for its removal, and its subsequent removal.

... You may be amazed at what a lil "please" will do.

please take this story down immediately - it is copyrighted material

I guess you missed the please...

The loss of Lynn had a lot to do with . . . alot.

You posting about it is hardly a DMCA notice. You may be amazed at what a lil "please" will do. instead of coming off like a raving lunatic, you put a lil nice please in there and come off as someone trying to help.

I did ask. I should not have to say 'please'. I'm sorry that it offends you. Beemer took care of it right away - maybe I just should have edited out my original request.

68caliber is taking its actions because of a loss of traffic. the longer something stays up where its not supposed to be, 68 loses more traffic.

I'm now stuck in the same situation as pro-team: I can't state the whole story that would justify my actions, so I just have to sit and take it from people like you.

[rabidchihauhau]

they were givern an exclusive opportunity to publicly display the material.

if others want to display it, its a simple matter of asking for permission

[Chronobreak]

sooo...

how bout those pneuframes...

gotta love the copyright derail


-looks like this is the only release or info i see online so far, diddnt ptp make similar agreements with other companies?

and if so are they taking similar actions against those entities as well? or were those agreements different in some way, or not as in depth as far as working together.

[RRfireblade]

Related to the pnues , it was under the umbrella of BE which covered at that time BE,VL,JT and WGP. The WGP application is/was one step away from production. The BE/VL application stalled somewhere in mid stream and the JT application was in early develpoment.

And the MAG . . . well . . . nevermind that one.

Looks like you've admitted what you've done is wrong. In the future avoid using all caps, asking for something when you are just going to get it deleted with threats of legal action, and acting like you are doing it for the good of the community when you are just doing it for your friend's business. That will generally make you look like less of a jerk. Remember, honesty is always better than deception and threats.

Again, thanks for rectifying the situation. That took courage and is very respectable.

Are you trying to make trouble?

I didn't admit that I was wrong with anything.

I took the original post down - not AO.

I was doing it for AO's protection, not my friends.

You want to take this one outside? It looks like your spoiling for something and I don't take kindly to people putting words into my mouth.

Go find some other sand box to play in.

READ what's written and don't substitute your own fantasies for reality.

Sometimes ALL CAPS are used for emphasis and sometimes its necessary to YELL in an idiots face in order to get them to hear anything.

Where you dropped on your head as a child?

Reprimanding a long standing community member, with great achievements in the sport, who TK has personally sighted as one of the greats in paintball, who has direct experience with the type of issue at hand, and then trying to act like he cared what you said will make you look like an idiot. In the future you might want to try to avoid doing that.

Rabid is more familiar with the situation at hand then you, or I, will ever be. He has connections and expertise that give him insight you do not have. Sometimes you just have to accept that someone may be smarter, and more respected, then you.

That's shocking.

Sorry for my failure to understand webspeak. ITG?

Hey, look. This thread is supposed to be about pro-team and jt sports - not about me, not about the pneu-trigger, not about anything else.

The original story was given as an exclusive by PTP to www.68caliber.com. anyone else is welcome to ask 68caliber for permission to reprint it.

One person chose to reprint it here without permission. Knowing what 68caliber is going through with copyright infringement - and not wanting anyone here or at AO to get caught up in anything that might occur as a result of that - I spoke up. AO complied as they ought to and as their policy states.

If some people can't read between the lines, its not my fault.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled show.
