HAVE A LOOK AT THIS!
« on: January 13, 2008, 03:01:11 AM »
I discovered this being linked from gamespot.com

Somebody is not only selling BC, but is selling mods that WE made with it.

This is a total outrage!  Is there anything we can do about this?

I realize that it says the mods are a FREE DVD bonus, but the fact remains that the person is selling this as a package.  The additional mods are being used to attract customers and make the seller more money.  Therefor they are profiting from our work.

I emailed the site. If it doesn't dissapear in a few days, someone remind me and I'll post their email on bcfiles news titled "mod theft" and let the entire community fill their inbox.

I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D

Everyone involved in the development of the KM mod (and any other mod included on the "bonus" DVD) should get together and do a massive class action lawsuit against these guys. Take em for all they got, thou with a name like AnimeFirst, it's not likely to be much :P

Hmmm odd.   So Yahoo Commerce allows idiots of all sorts sell stuff eh?   Where would he even be still getting legitimate copies of BC from after 6 years?? lol

I'm sure if someone told Raven about this, he'd sick his lawyers after them.


It also looks like the site may be shady....... selling bootleg copies, etc..  I think he may be selling burnt copies.  If I had money spare, I'd probably order one just to see if it actually ships... and 2.... exactly what he is shipping.

i think it is a dirty move and a bit low on the seller's part, but they are not selling the modded DVD...  they are using the "free" DVD as an incentive to sell the actual BC disc itself...  anyone who is dumb enough to fall for it, clearly doesnt know about bcfiles lol
but in the end, there is nothing legally wrong with giving items to a buyer who is making a purchase...

if they were selling the mod DVD alone, of course that is entirely different...  and, id they were selling the BC disc and the mod DVD as a "pack", that would be different also...  but they do clearly say that the mod DVD is a free bonus and again legally there is nothing wrong with adding free items to a purchase...

however i do think it is a dirty move and they shouldnt be allowed to toss in any "free bonus" which others have made, but i think they are within their legal rights to do so...
of course, i am only assuming, and do hope i am absolutely wrong...

Unfortunately, they have the legal right to sell it that way.

However, I might note that they are only selling BC for $50 US, which is one of the lowest prices online!

I doubt the legitimacy of that site. Where do you find a NEW Bridge Commander 6 years after it ceased production?

Well it's off his site now in any case.

However, having familiarity with the anime community, some of the titles he's selling aren't valid for retail in North America due to various liscensing issues.  The guy is obviously black market. 

Now to report to yahoo..... :arms:

Except that you can't because they're offering KM as a FREE included bonus.
