Outing a ripoff, A popular member here is a plagerist! Options

[IronHillRestorations]

So am I a bad guy for outing a ripoff, if the guy doing the ripping is popular here?

There are least two products that I know of, what or who is next?

Do I spill the beans?

I remember not too long ago, no one, NO ONE could say a bad word about Bradholio, without being chastised.

I don't want to be shunned for shedding the light here, but this stuff makes me mad! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

If you have something to say, say it...just make sure you have your ducks in a row.

For instance, the other day someone was slagging a guy for "ripping off" Rich Johnson's engine mount. That mount was originally made by George Vellious who was /is apparently a lousy business man (his 915 rear cover is another example...now made by Wevo) and Rich made some much needed improvements (as did Wevo).
Both of these vendors now supply a better part in a timely mannerand George is SOL. We all want our mice dead, eh?

Unless there is a copyright/patent for a product there is a risk of....ah....copies.

That said, Perry, you have enuff credibility in the 914 community to be able to speak your mind.

Dont confuse your idea of right and wrong with what is legal.
You may not like it.
You may not buy it.
You may even think its an insult to a nice person.
But its not wrong to enter a market that you think you can perform well or better in.


Really the only person who should be pissed is the guy who made the instructions and/or holds patent to the item. Everything else is a moral quandary.
