Might be controversial CMON to Kickstarter with a Marvel Board Game? Source: https://www.facebook.com/coolminiornot/videos/2660256604063717/ How is this even okay with Disney? The Bruce isn’t touching it with a 50ft barge pole, why? To be fair this is a collaboration with “Spin Master Games” but Bruce’s opinions on CMON remain. **LAST TOPIC** - What happened with “Colorshift”? Green Stuff World copywrite (trademarked) the term “colorshift” and “chameleon” when referencing paints. These copyrights (trademarks) are SPAIN ONLY not worldwide. It would appear that this happened in response to other companies finally releasing their own versions of these model paints forcing both Vallejo and TurboDorks to change the names of their paints. Its unsure whether either of the competitor companies are intending to take action at this time (or if they even have the option to) GSW have admitted fault in targeting the Sword & Shield video and claim it was done accidentally. Green Stuff World were the first to the market with these products within our world they did not however invent the technology it’s just the first time its featured within our hobby community. Thankfully the damage done to the unrelated youtuber has been fixed, apologized for and is done. Everyone who got on board to support her should be thankful, including some very well-known people from the hobby. Copyrights are complicated and not always tied to who created something but it’s not our place to point fingers as to who ‘deserves’ what that’s for the companies and their lawyers to deal with and ultimately the courts to decide if it gets to that level. |
