So, you do want to claim electronic restriction is your IP?

No.  Not the concept.  You can't claim a concept, only an implementation.

But let me see what Paige is trying to tell me before anything else is said on  this.

Paige is talking about the button that says Analog on the Playstation 2 gamepads (and others).

I'll look into that situation as well, but I want to hear what example Paige is talking about....from Paige.  :)

Thanks,

Are you really considering arguing a legal issue with Andy about making a product?

You will become VERY unpopular around here if you start legally going after someone else.  Especially Andy who you really did base your company after. 

He has really helped this community a LOT.  And for a lot longer then you have.

I've never said anything bad about you or any of your products.  But if you try and stop Andy or anyone from poducing anything thats really in the good of the community.  Don't expect to have a single thread make it around here without being trashed.  I believe you will loose a ton of face and respect if you start talking lawsuits. 

He isn't talking about cutting into your business.  He isn't talking about adding something you sell.  But yet I think it could EASILY be said in the other direction.

This is suppost to be a fun project / hobby.  Not a bunch of <edit> who try and threaten lawsuits just because.

That is like saying Chevrolet based their company after Ford, or Apple based their company after IBM. . .

>He isn't talking about cutting into your business.

Let's get real - they sell competing products.  Each of them is cutting into the other's business.

>He isn't talking about adding something you sell.  But yet I think it could EASILY be said in >the other direction.

Not according to Kremmit, but that may be up to the courts to decide.

>This is suppost to be a fun project / hobby.

For us, it is.  For them, it's a business.  (Although hopefully a fun hobby/business, or at least an excuse to write-off arcade controls on their tax forms).

>Not a bunch of <edit> who try and threaten lawsuits just because.

I don't think I would take it as either "just a threat"or "just because".
