Surround Sound - No one owns the intellectual property there. Well I don't know enough about the intellectual property ownership issues of the technologies Paulie listed, but for two: I just don't agree with it nor do I want to support it. Let competetion and free enterprise THRIVE or lets go back to U.S.S.R.Īnyone SEE my point? Because I *SEE* yours. I just HOPEHOPEHOPE there never is a front page like that actually supports this BS. I am all about getting the info out there, for anyone to make their own opinions on. just hope a FORUM that I SUPPORT with MONEY doesn't support a boycott I don't believe in.
I've never been saying F U, I won't ride with anyone with another outlook (HA. whether a few old skoolers think its BS or not its what makes America THRIVE. it's American.Īnd we shouldn't try to hurt it. no matter WHAT I sell, the other 4 or 5 companies in Sacramento sell the SAME thing. I think people who make parts and don't protect them get. I just don't buy that people with patents and copyrights are getting screwed. Who the hell wants to not make MONEY these days? The way I would go is whatever had the best BOTTOM LINE to me, the vendor/distributor. to keep costs down.Īnother is to make a product better and charge the same, more, or less.Īnother is to make exactly the same product at a slight decrease with the same customer service. Another completely different form of competition is making an equal part, with slightly better pricing and absolutely no customer support. I still buy from my local shop but have asked them not to sell me anything from V-Twin at all. :roflblackīut are you saying that competition equals theft? I thought competition meant making a better product at better prices and better customer service? If so, maybe you should change your name to Swap Meet Paulie. You ever buy your wife any "Swap Meet Louie?" The Chinese are notorious for ignoring patent/trademark law.Ī lot of these shops are mom & pop operations, and they don't have the money to file an international lawsuit. Taiwan Ted has been in bed with these ripoff artists for a LONG time. If the vendor is knowingly carrying products that infringe on patents, or even ENCOURAGING the overseas manufacturer to copy domestic designs, then that person is a scumbag, PERIOD. Lol, I support FREE ENTERPRISE of all kind. V-Twin for copyright, patent, or trademark violations. I just think a boycott of CHOICE is stupid.Īlso, it's not the fault of the local vendor, I.e. its damn Mexico.Īnd it still smoked some ass till I sold it. I don't care who's profit I'm supporting - as long as its my POCKET that is breathing a little bit easier.Īnd as for the lame PORSCHE jab, I was simply stating that like many other GREAT products, the country on the door jam ISN'T the good ole U.S. so, if I can get the same quality product for a bit cheaper, I call it GREAT. Price drives a lot of my desicion on who to buy from. If not, GREAT, I'm glad I can choose which quality level and which vendor to buy from. If someone is blatently stealing a copyrighted trademarked, or patented product, then the owner should sue. I am glad that people offer products that are the same or close to others. I think your missing the point of my point.
The people have been proven to have taken other peoples ideas and selling them for there own profit.Īs for your PORSCHE good for you. I think that you are completely missing the point of this. There are many more people involved in a product than you realize. The foam company, the foundry, and the chrome plating company.īuy American. So this simple seat not only involved the original two guys, but it involved three other companies as well. The frame was then sent to have it chromed. The foundry made a pattern for the frame made by a patternmaker. They had the frame for the seat made at a foundry. A collaboration between two guys, there are many more involved than meet the eye. When this happens, it affects many more people than you realize. One of our cutomers had a product of theirs copied so closely, that the Chinese even engineered in a defect that they had in their original design! A number of our customers have had their product copied, the molds built in China at the fraction of the cost, and sold on store shelves at less cost. Our customers come to us with a product, and we sell them the tool to mold that product. Where I work, we design and build plastic injection molds. Guess what? This has been going on in the manufacturing sector for a long time.
