Cheers pal, had a lovely day.

I am not sure you are quite understanding the law here.

Take Cuthbert the Catapillar” the legal problem was not that Aldi where selling a catapillar cake lots of stores did at the same time. The problem was the how alike it was the original M&S one. From the design and color of the box to the design of the cake, the face was the same the eyes w…[Read more]

Google’s Gemini is both cool (no hard limits on sessions) and incredibly frustrating to work with.
It constantly manages to warp the layout for the floorplan that it once got perfectly acceptable.
And they appear to be using LaTeX somewhere in their…[Read more]

Maybe it’s because we’re so close to understanding the differences that make something NOT-GW (whereas a “muggle” might not be able to tell them apart) that makes this such an interesting case. But anyone buying STIL files for minis online isn’t a “muggle” who has accidentally stumbled into a confusing marketplace – they’ve actively gone looking…[Read more]

The way this typically works is if you show people a picture of the original and the copy next to each other if people who know nothing about the subject would struggle to tell them part you have a case.

Just look at the model above. Its the same scale / size as the GW figure, you have the have design armour, chain swords, halo around the helmet,…[Read more]

@Redscope – I’m not entirely sure that his entire business model is “ripping off GW designs”.
In his early days, he was very, very close to doing exactly this.
And I think even he (and his band of collaborators) acknowledge this, when he talks about identifying about 30% of his catalogue. 1 in 3 is a lot. But it’s not his entire output for the…[Read more]

I sub to Ghamak tribe monthly but I am not a moron when it comes to understanding his business is ripping off models from GW design. Not sure how anyone can be outraged at GW taking legal action against him when near 90% of his models are clearly ripped straight out of the GW catalogue with either zero or minor changes.

I take this position not…[Read more]

The ironic thing is GW’s suing a guy for making somewhat similar models, when a lot of 3D printers are getting their stl models straight from the source. At least with Chapterhouse they were pursuing a means to actually tamp down on an entire 3rd party industry, as people know they actually won on quite a few of their accusations but lost the war,…[Read more]
