*ding ding* ROUND 4...
Quoted from PPS:I guess we are all just wondering what rights you have to make and reproduce items with the Bally(tm) and Williams(tm) trademarks on them.
Just answer the simple question.
Hello Rick.
Funny that, I didn't see any items on our Facebook page with the Bally(tm) or Williams(tm) trademarks on them. Did you? I have evidence here that you believe yourself to be the rights owner of Data East, Sega, Stern, Capcom and Gottlieb ones instead.
I've never said anywhere that Retro Refurbs actually makes or reproduces anything. That's your assumption.
As I pointed out in my 2nd post, my understanding is that you have don't have the rights. If you do have the correct rights then you must submit proof to us of what you have rights to and be specific about which pieces they are, and remembering that most artwork consists of 5 pieces. Otherwise anything that comes out of your mouth is just hearsay.
Once this is done I'll be more than happy to discuss an amicable solution that suits everybody. I'll offer my apologies to anyone I've wronged, and even buy them a round of beers!
Until the above is resolved, Retro Refurbs will be standing it's ground.
BACK TO THE POINT - we are talking here about our Facebook page and images of artwork found on Data East, Sega, Stern, Capcom and Gottlieb games. My original post did not contain any complaint for the rights of B/W.
Rick, if you continue to derail this topic with that of your own agenda and cannot contribute to the matter at hand in a useful way without embarrassing yourself any further, then I will be asking the Pinside moderators to either restrict your posting in this topic, or lock it altogether and end the discussion.
I'm still waiting for your explanations.
