The law is not perfect and there are loopholes that opportunists can climb through all over the place. I would seriously question anyone's moral compass if they cant see that spirit of what GF has done is completely wrong. "caught with their trousers down" ffs? Everyone is blessed with 20:20 Hindsight, I for one would not blame the committee for not foreseeing the need to protect its assets from this sort of attack, it's an owners club run by volunteers, not professional copyright lawyers. That said, I would be very disappointed if the club isn't looking to do precisely that for all remaining artwork and names, there could be other Wyle Foxes out there with an eye on our chicken shed.Doom Patrol wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 12:30 pm Hang on a minute. Let's not confuse moral issues with legal ones. Whatever he purchased, trade marked, or whatever must have been given to him on a legal basis. Obviously the LCGB is challenging that, and that is their prerogative, but as I'm sure has been previously stated it is on the grounds of intellectual copyright, or else the situation could not have arisen and names / logos, could not been purchased. Strongly implying that someone is a thief is a different matter, when it would appear the club has been caught with its trousers down.
Eden, on a personal level, I would be VERY disappointed if you chose not to re-apply for LCGB membership but you don't make it easy by using public forums to lambast the elected committee. You need to be doing what you are advising the LCGB to do and pick up the phone or drop people an email. There ought to be a process for resolving disputes and this forum and FB is not it
