liek omgzzzz the elbadz!!!!!!!!!!!

meh seems like every company is either fighting them and losing or signing deals and nothing else...

[LudavicoSoldier]

Another company to accept the sandpaper condom rape. Sad...

[lew]

To put it simply: That's gay. I would never have seen that one coming.

What to you expect? They also make a version of the Impulse too!

Sooner or later they will go up against someone who has enough money or guts to challenge their patents. Then we will see what happens.

Smart companies that want to stay in business and not fade away in obscurity, sign with SP to settle things, Planet, yet another intelligent company.

I was waiting for that...

I could feel it coming!


I for one, am hopefull that Nicads trigger mod will take a little emphasis off this whole SP situation. Deadlywind could liscence out non-exclusive rights to manufacture his trigger in other markers...

Maybe kinda cushion SP's legal impact on the the paintball industry.

so... are the prices gonna go up?

or no? cause of the previous impulse stuff?

wonder if Racegun is next?

wow. i'm glad i got my worrblade before this. i wouldn't be suprized at all if they go up to $500. the funny thing is that there was no previous mention of planet being sued by SP (at least to my knowledge). i wonder if they decided to go ahead and get it over with before they were sued?

[Head knight of Ni]

I think I'm gonna be sick.

I guess this also means that WGP will be likly to sign soon. Or is it that the Eblade is techincally an eclipse product WGP has already signed?

I think so. WGP doesn't make the Worr Blade, they slap an Eblade on there.

So, to recap, so far SP has bullied into licensing Planet Eclipse, ICD, National (Bob Long), and Dye. And essentially forced AKA and AGD out of the electro market.

Of course I notice that SP has not gone after the bigger paintball companies, like BrassEagle (parent company of Viewloader and JT), Kingman, and Tippmann.

These assh*les must be stopped!

If you don't think threatening with a lawsuit isn't bullying, then I don't think you're looking at looking at the situation realistically. Additionally, by their predatory actions, which have the net effect of stopping production of some of the best electros on the market, SP has shown that they really don't care if the overall impact of their actions is hugely negative on the paintball world.
