Pity you're so full of trash, Fodyie. Here is our answer... By: alpha6 Reply To: 2881 by Truthseeker Saturday, 5 Jun 1999 at 5:48 PM EDT Post # of 2892 Since this "Judgement" is the shorters newest twist, lets look at it shall we. First, copyright infrigement takes place all the time even buy large corperations starting new products (Remember the war between Pepsi and Coke over Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb? and thats just one) Next look at the date when the notice was served. May 22, 1997, not to the defendents, but to the Chief Sec. of Hong Kong and Central Govt. Offices by Air Mail. OK, first anyone living outside the US knows that mail is not handled that great around the would. Then, after it got it the Govt. offices, how long did it sit around before some Govt. employee decided what to do with it next. Anyone want to guess how much time that would take. I know in our govt. if someone sent a letter to a business it would get put in the shredder rather than a GS-5 taking the effort to properly redirect the letter. Lets move on - OK it gets to them. First they heard of it and tried to come to an agreement with PEI by saying it would change its site but needed time to do so. When PEI answered no, (and who knows how long that took again) the defendents stopped using the trademarks. In Oct. of 97. Which when you know how the legal system works, that is a pretty fast reaction to a complaint. And this is international!! So, what conclusions can we draw. Once this company was notified that it was in violation of a copyright it took steps to fix the situation and when this couldn't be done, it ceased to use the copyright in question. That was two years ago fokes, I might add that PEI just lost a simular type suit against an internet company in Brazil for using "Playmate" in its site. Now are these guys criminals?? I don't think so. Did they use the name "Playmate" yeah, but thousands of companies, huge companies play close to the copyrights everyday and have action taken against them. Did they cease when notified? YES. Would "real" criminals stop? NO. So there it is. Lets not be fooled by this "Legal Court Order". Look at it closely and decide what went on here. Hey, truthseeker just posted the same thing over at SI, someone go over and post this response. Maybe clean it up since Mr. Burns thinks I'm so foul mouthed.
