- IP infringement = theft != robbery/burglary. The idea of "theft" is not restricted to physical objects, while robbery/burglary are. Hopefully this ends the argument over that terminology.
- Gateway certainly perpetrates IP infringement on a regular basis
- I have no idea why any third party would care and be so indignant about it. Gateway's infringement does not degrade the property in any way nor does it deprive the right holders of any economic opportunity. While what Gateway is doing is wrong, I really don't understand getting your panties in a wad over it unless you personally work for Disney and it is your job to care.
Nah, the Grateful Dead allowed free use of their art. That's why it's so common, nobody is going to sue you for using it. It either cost them millions and millions in merchandise royalties or helped to push their band to be one of the most recognizable, making their performances more profitable. Depending on who you talk to, of course.These dead head stamps have been around for a long time. Grateful Dead ever get money for that?
Disney could be offended that their illegally produced Mickey Mouse Wizard is marketed right next to a Wizard with a wizard smoking a joint while banging a big tittied chic over the corpse of Jerry Garcia whilst Jumpman is readying himself to get tagged in.
It is also a bit too much BS for me to accept your argument of "that is wrong, but it doesn't concern me, so it is okay" as a serious or valid point.

Phil Lesh wanted to aggressively protect GD artwork. He is a very staunch IP rights guy.
Sorry for the misunderstanding then. What I got was "It is wrong, but i dont understand why anyone should care."Fair point on the negative association, I hadn't considered that aspect.
If you are going to call my argument BS at least get it right. My argument is that it is wrong, doesn't concern me, and is still wrong despite it not concerning me.
I'm not saying that it's not a crime. I'm just saying that it's not *theft*, it's copyright infringement. It's not the same crime
Only if you dont understand the topic at hand...

If you had two Eagles with Glenn Frey and Don Henley stamps on them, would you have to pay royalties to the Eagles?

Now if you really want to go further down the rabbit hole, what's your take on stencil dyes. Should retailers, eBay stop selling discs that use trademarked/copyrighted images?
Didn't RDG sell MVP discs with Pokemon on them? Zamsons heads gonna explode if it hasnt already.
I was talking about your employer's mold, the Eagle. We are talking about stamps, after all. Geez Jamie, you must be a blast at parties.
To broaden that out, would dyeing a particular stencil/artwork on your own disc be considered theft? I could see it be arguing both ways but I'm curious to hear what people have to say.
Gateways sales probably don't even make it worth the time of going to court, plus it's not like they are using Disney images.
Pfft, Gateway should just move to China, pay off some government officials and then steal all the IP their heart desires.
Now you've totally lost me, you posted a link comparing Innova Pet Food and Innova Champion Disc...
