As a recent poster added a similar statement on another thread, we
should stop posting the ads of these black market pinball items on a
public newsgroup.

Although I respect copyright laws and protecting interests, It is also
annoying to know that they are sending their lawyers onto the newsgroup
fishing for information and asking rgp to do their dirty work.

If someone is making a part and it is illegal, then let Wayne and Gene
spend their money on lawyers to bring the culprits to justice.

I am not going to help them by posting a link to some e-bay auction
item on a set of Monster Bash side decals.

No kidding. Maybe if you're looking for a hard-to-find item you should
post a WTB on RGP, and if somebody knows where to find it they can
suggest a vendor via private mail.

Make the legal thugs and their masters work to enforce their
copyrights.

I agree with the point, but in this case the creator of the item in
question had already posted it FS with a link the day before. The
second post done today was just pointing out the quality.

I thought it was mentioned that Wayne was going to work with outside
vendors.

According to his law team at Dewey, Cheatam, and Howe, looks like they
want too much profit (400%--yeah right).

If this is the case, I agree with the poster, let them do their own
copyright enforcement. No need to post openly.

That lawyer guy who posted asking for information was a bit much!!

Make BBB and Croc Hunter and enter the fray!!!
