** RAM Controls Reproduction Star Wars Flight Yoke Controller **
RayB:
Ark, you cannot copyright a physical mechanical device. That falls under patents, all expired. The only part copyrighted is the artwork overlay, and those came from the guy who made new prints using the actual original screens. I suppose its a grey area whether or not copyright transfers with an original work or not, but whatever...
ChadTower:
IIRC owning the original materials gives you the right to reproduce it... but if there are third party rights involved in the material you still can't sell it. Here it all depends on whether or not that piece of art has anything Star Wars on it.
ark_ader:
Did I just give Dave an exit?
FrizzleFried:
DashRendar:
Maybe I'm too trusting, but I hope there's a legitimate reason for Dave's disappearance and these yokes not being shipped.
I really hate to see anyone being bullied- almost as much as I hate to see people swindle others out of their money.
:soapbox:
Not saying that's necessarily it, but I do hope there's a valid excuse and people will get their yokes (or their money back).
Dave has certainly mishandled this by posting only at that KLOV forums, and not here. Hopefully he's replying to the email inquiries I'm sure he's getting.
