Did Paulson purchase the rights from Christy and Jones for the hat and cane specifically. Did David Spragg purchase copyrights from TRK for the Crown molds??

 

[Budha]

It always cracks me up when people talk about the prices Krish paid for chips.

Because when other clearly-wealthy PCFers happily pay $15 a chip for NAGB chips – not to mention double the price Krish initially paid for certain chips – nobody bats an eyelid.

It was more his bidding up every auction to ridiculous levels for anything that was bright and shiny…

 

[upNdown]

Waah, waah. The topic being discussed was customs, not copies.

Yeah but now that I’m seeing people’s customs on a copycat small crown mold and a copycat RHC mold, I think I make a fair point.
Waah waah? Really?

 

[Poker Zombie]

So do you think the mold is trademarked? Legally I mean? Just curious.

Yes. Certainly H&C, but you would have to ask @David Spragg if other molds had copyright.

You need to rule out Tina who works in an environment that disregards IP

Tina prints what people ask her to print. If you want to black ball or rag on someone, rag on the chippers who order the chips you think they shouldn't be ordering. Refuse to do business with them and ignore them. They are the members of this community that are creating the issue that violate your personal moral higher ground.

I'm doing business with her for customs. The chips are a blank slate. Ruling her out of the custom chip equation is cutting off your own nose to spite your face. It's just stupid.

These are probably the same people who are whacking it to 20 year old bikini pictures of Shana Hyatt.

Before Sean and others commissioned the web mold, there was another mold that we wanted to make. I forget which one it was but I'm sure someone else will mention it. We thought that it might be owned by David, so we went to him and he asked us not to create it. We honored that request and moved on to the web mold.

I believe it was the Ewing mold David asked to not be reproduced. My questions were meant to bring clarity to things, so people would know when they were stepping on IP toes. I do not intend to create chips on those molds, but wanted others to be aware. How about those faux molds being done on no mold ceramic blanks. I would think that might rile some comments as well. So you see there is indeed a slippery slope that needs further definition. I recently had a custom set done on the Nee Greek Key mold. I chose some spots from chip I had admired in the past along with some close colors. The labels carry a fictional name however, so that’s where my other queries came from.

Ewing mold best mold.

I could use a little more education on that subject too.

Right. Nobody should hate the hitman that killed 30 people. Rag on the man who order the hits you think they shouldn't be ordering. They are the members of this community that are creating the issue that violate your personal moral higher ground.

I'm doing business with the hitman for pest removal. The bullets are a blank slate. Ruling the hitman out of the killing equation is cutting off your own nose to spite your face. It's just stupid.

Good one. That's hilarious. No way you are making this argument with a straight face. Thanks for a nice laugh.

Doesn't it take two parties or more to bid up and auction though?

I'm glad you caught that in the spirit that was intended. Sometimes, I think "jest" gets lost through the internet.

I mix everything and anything and don’t care. Molds, materials, denom vs non-denom. It doesn’t matter. As long as the color w/i a denom is the same (all fracs same color, all 1’s same color) I rock it.

Paulson bought both the THC and web molds from Pat Sullivan, who was a part-owner (at the time) of C&J (Bud Jones had already been ousted). Both are trademarked.

I assume CPC also got usage rights when they purchased the Lcrown and Scrown molds from the post-TRK owner(s).

 

[BGinGA]

And fwiw, both TRK and BCC violated IP rights. ASM-Vegas, too.

'TinaChips' isn't the only chip manufacturer to do so; simply the most recent.

have tina chips gone too far? someone should start a separate thread.

"yeah, these circle toys are too big to play with the other circle toys, I'd rather bring in a RANDOM TOMBSTONE to play with. That makes sense."

RIDICULOUS.

I'm very disappointed, I thought I'd see fists flying over this one. C'mon PCF, do better.

Whew! To be honest, I wasn't really sure... Like you say, humor, especially sarcasm, is often difficult to convey by the written word.

Lol

C’mon

Don’t forget the classic Krish move to up the bid by $1000 as soon as he felt challenged. The groupies could hardly contain the big dick GIF’s that immediately followed - lol.

RIDICULOUS.

They’re different shapes though! I can deal with different shapes but different sizes of the same shape is an issue
