I don't disagree with your Corey, he is a douche and while he doesn't have any legal standing with just the C&D email, I hate to be the one person he decides to make an example out of and actually try and come after you.  I'm sure that is how most people feel, yes they get he would most likely not win, but who wants to deal with the hassle of actualyl trying to have to fight if it came down to it, I know I wouldn't.  

I'm not too worried, these aren't things I can actually mass-produce, they're hand made.  If Wayne would like to contact me to buy my original mold for mass production, by all means.. but until then, I'm pretty sure I'm within my rights, here..    (any lawyers on MAACA that can verify?)

MAACA needs a house lawyer..  

Sparky, PM coming your way!

I tell you what Brock... if you get a C&D letter from Wayne, I will pay you 50$ for it and a Rudy keychain. I want to frame it and hang it in my gameroom. I was hoping to get a 10.000.000$ Nigerian cheque on my wall as well, but 6 years of fishing hasn't gotten me one yet...

The cheques and Wayne's C&D letters are part of arcade history, just as much as any promo poster of a pin or vid.

I ain't no lawyer... just an enforcer.

I remeber a guy on RGP was making mouse pads with artwork on it and got nailed with a C&D email

Right but was it his own artwork or was he just printing the backglass art on a mousepad?  'cause I could see the latter as being justifiable..

Regardless, if he hassle's me I'll just re-list it as "Rudy's twin brother", no biggy.  It's not an exact reproduction by any means, so it probably differs enough from the original IP to get away with it.  For example, the red dots on his nose and cheeks aren't feathered (I'm still trying to figure that one out!)

The way I look at though is by Wayne not playing ball with these other producers and figuring out a fair royalty amount to pay on items he stands to be one of the biggest to lose. In 2010 should he not get the license and be sitting on all this inventory and production equipment who is going to be willing to let him sell anything?

Karma comes around.

It's good to be dictator until there is a revolution.

Just sell them Brock!!! If Wayne sends you a C&D, that is 50$ in your pocket, and then just rename it "Dudy", the ventriloquist dummy head on a keychain. He then cannot do a damn thing.

Why?

Because it is an original creation of yours... not a reproduction or copy by any means.

Now... if only someone would make a new head for Funhouse, THAT would be cool... my vote is for Akhmed the dead terrorist...

Every time you hit him, he says " SILENCE!!! ...

A Dracula one would be neat - maybe not enough interested - but around Halloween time it might spike...  ...oh and Sparky likes clowns, so any of the Comet, Hurricane, Cyclone series  

I'd guess the $$$ would follow the Top 50 searches from the Pinball Classifieds:

Very nice work Brock.
