Re: Official "Submit your counterfeit claim to Gibson" thread!!!!!

I don't know maybe this form of humor is just too far over my head, but all I see is someone repeating the same joke 14 times over 4 days.

Yeah - but if there is just ONE guy like this on every forum....Gibson has hundreds of submissions.
 
Re: Official "Submit your counterfeit claim to Gibson" thread!!!!!

What did I see somewhere? "Gibson has stepped on their own dick"..... Seems about right.

My guess is the last 2 weeks have just been a ****storm for the folks in the front office.

I appreciate NE’s resilience and resolve to let Gibson know just precisely what ...(can’t insult other companies, forum rules)... they are.

Listen - at the end of the day, Duncan needs to choose. Sorry to say that, but it's true. The masses have spoken. You are FOR Gibson, or AGAINST them. You can't tread very far into "For Them" territory without attracting the same backlash.

It is odd that this thread is not in the Sound Room.

Meh - it's all about guitars....

I showed this thread to my wife, a civil lawyer and fervent bass player, and she thought it was funny for two reasons - the first being the irony, the second being she says, and I quote, you have an "imaginative take on the subject of copyright law" the she finds is "loosely based on reality and the American legal system".
 
Re: Official "Submit your counterfeit claim to Gibson" thread!!!!!

I think it’s Gibson that has an imaginative take on copyright law. I have a number of patents, copyrights and trademarks and have learned those laws. Gibson’s only hope is the looseness of trademark law in the US.

I had a graduate seminar taught by a JD/PhD.

You are right. Thinking in "Legal" is a whole other skill. No room for sensible people. Have to know the game....

Well considering "Copywright" is an entirely different form of intellectual property and governed by a separate office from Patents and Trademarks -which is the subject of this thread, I suspect you misquoted your wife -or her legal education is loosely based on reality also.

Either way, glad you got a giggle.

but for everyone here:

US Copywright is administered by the US Copyright office under the auspices and management of the Library of Congress and no part of the Gibson suits references this sort of infringement (at least in the Texas filing)

Whereas the US Patent and Trademark office is inside the US department of Commerce and the court filing references these infringements

I consulted a lawyer decades ago about forming a 501(C)3 non-profit and the guy lent me one of his books on the subject. When I took it back I asked why wasn't law cut and dried, instead of all the beating around the bush. His reply? "Because then it wouldn't be interpretable." I pondered that for a second, and said "That's why everyone hates lawyers. You guys make laws vague on purpose so you'll have jobs in the future". And he smiled.... evilly. I paid my $100 and fled.

I hear ya. The Constitution, one of our most cut and dry legal documents as a nation, experiences very little change, but it has changed immensly from having been subject to centuries of interpretation.

The letter of the law, established by a Congress of 535 people, means very little if some hotshot lawyer can successfully argue his position of that laws meaning.

I'm glad I decided to switch from pursing a career in law to one in engineering.

I studied Law initially, and after talking to many Lawyers about how overworked and miserable they are -I decided that was not the path for me either -granted drugs and music wasn't the plan either :lmao:

So long as were pointing out tiny insubstantial mistakes, you spelled "copyright" wrong twice and your capitalization is spotty.

Touche'. -making jokes and got excited by Driverblues having a bass playing wife and sensitive about my thumbs spelling stuff on my phone.

I formally rescind my aggression towards her questioning my imagination and revert back to the goal of making her giggle.
