MattBurkett Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) WHAT I HATE Other companies ripping off products/ideas and the approval (tacit or otherwise) that it is perfectly acceptable in this industry because their are no new ideas or its competition or whatever. Most small companies can't afford to patent their ideas for a marketplace this small and yet shooters seem to think it is okay to rip off that idea. Wouldn't it be great to work your ass off developing some great gear just to have some pricks rip it off? I have an idea - companies could come up with original concepts or even improve existing ones. Naw, that would be too much work. We will just screw the guys over that did it in the first place instead. Imagine the outrage on BE if someone just plagiarized Brian's book and put a different cover on it and then said there are only so many ways to write a book! It is the same thing, especially in a market this tiny. People get pissed at Tec-loader for protecting their patent. Whether their product is good or bad at least they have been able to hang onto the thing and not have everyone just copying it. I personally think it is brilliant on their end. I have another idea - support the companies that have supported our shooting. If anyone has any issues with my statements, please contact me directly at (602) 790-8838 as then we won't have to worry about any (more on my part anyway) violations on the forums. Thanks, Matt PS Glad I have that whole "copyright" law to protect my DVDs! CLOSED Edited January 13, 2006 by MattBurkett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
