Should Krull be banned off the forum?

[novosibir]

finally after 3 pages some one has posted some thing that is worth my time looking at .... Thank you

T&A aren't worth looking at, mate?

And because my girl friend is looking a bit weird on the photo above, here a better one:

 

[skullfxr]

Thanks. Where is the tube porn?

I still want to see a work in process.

She's gorgeous, mate.

I certainly don't carry all my tubes together from all the places where they are stored, only to serve you with a photo

And then maybe you want to see them all unboxed? If I'd have all time boredom like some Krulls here, then maybe I'd do it...
... but about 5 hours unboxing all my tubes, positioning for taking photos and then pack em all back in their boxes, finally all cardboard boxes back to their places

I still want to see a work in process.

You want? Then you must come again on Wantsday, not on Sunday

 

[Monkey Man]

Then you must come again on Wantsday...

Oh, he wants.

Show us work in progress when you get around to it.

I just like NOS tubes. That's all.

 

[novosibir]

That's the only I do have, only NOS

Ok I do have still a very small stash of tubes of current production, but at the most 20 pre's & 2 quads of power tubes

I'm building my amps where I'm living, within a very homey ambience.
One half is living area, the other half is amp building area.
While working I could watch TV if I turn around myself, but at least I can hear it...
... and all the time during working I can speak to my girl friend sitting around.

So if a customer want try an amp before to buy it, you let play loud a 100 watt at your home?

Hey, it looks like we have the same multimeter!
(and same size GF too, from the looks of it. size 4, right? )

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

No..because in the USA you guys ain't got no time for censorship and complaining like we do in Canada. This is what you guys fought the British for now keep the spirit alive in the name of free speech!!!!

 

[skullfxr]

Free speech. ZERO censorship is what it should be.

I just am enjoying the shit show here. Lol.

Unless a builder has copied a patented circuit, no infringement has been committed. Anything beyond that is philosophical discussion. i.e. Useless.

On the other side of that coin, what if a builder steals the circuits of other builders, and then tries to pass them off as his own designs? Should the designer of these circuits sit quietly and accept it? Would you? Or should they let it be known on guitar forums and seek legal advice? I know what route I would take. If these allegations are in fact true, and if persuading only a few people to not buy a Fortin because of this helps him to sleep at night, then good for him. He’s not the bad guy here.

As stated above, unless a builder has copied a patented circuit, no infringement has been committed. Do I think it's a cool thing to do? No. Not without designer blessing. I opined per my experience with original design ideas.

Since 1985, I've given away three design ideas...all of which are being used today. I still have a few designs that I haven't done anything with. I once stood in a meeting room with 12 corporate heads; while presenting what I call a "Ridge Locking Drywall Molly". My hair was down to the middle of my back, Levi jeans, t-shirt, and a "Marshall" emblazened leather jacket... My GF was in the board room with me. She laugningly said to me; "The scene looked just like the cover of the Joe Perry Project album!"

In regards to Larry and Krull... I think they both could spend their time doing other things. Whatever... it's their time, not mine.

You don't have to patent a circuit or recipe or code to enforce it in a court. A circuit that is not readily known or easily discoverable by others. It's called Trade Secrets, some companies go to lengths not to patent their recipes or coding or whatever. When it's all laid out on a publicly available form, it can be easily stolen and resold illegally (like a lot of chinese knock offs) or slightly tweaked or changed to be sold legally.

Think of Coke Cola, it does not have a patent on it's recipe. If another company figured it out and stole the recipe and sold it under "Broke Cola", then Coke Cola would sue them for use of their intellectual property.

Think of Gibson suing Dean for using Explorer/Les Paul shapes. I believe the EU decision was that since Dean celebrated their 40th anniversary of each Gibson had no legal standing. They allowed their IP to be used for so long they no longer had the right to enforce it.. At least in the EU.

Larry should have contacted a lawyer as soon as he discovered his circuit was being ripped, disclosed the emails and sales to Fortin, laid out his case and let the courts decide who's right and wrong. Not forums. All the posts he made here can be used for or against him in court. In the same light all the posts Engage made can be used for or against Fortin in court. If Fortin did steal his circuit, Larry does have legal grounds as long as he enforces it as soon as he can.

Listen....
I’m one of 5 mods. I will never ever EVER Going to ban a guy for being an
ASSHOLE!! If that is the case I would of BANNED MY SELF years ago!
Again.... stop being pussies.
If your feeling fragile.... hurt .....
Go to http://www.pussyhurts.com.

If you are what you eat, you might as well call me an asshole too. I went to pussyhurts.com, but there are no cute guys on there. What gives?!

 

[skullfxr]

I must say that Larry handled this poorly and probably hurt his case. If you have a legal case/lawsuit, the less you say to the public, the better.

All in all I sincerity I hope it works out for Larry.

Thank you vultures to point it out so concretely

There's already an attorney agency with offices in the US as well as in Canada and who do have attorneys specialized on IT/Trademark/Copyright aso rights, who are caring about my case.

I can continue posting here as long as it isn't specific concerning the ongoing lawsuit.
And meanwhile I do have more proof than anyone here can think of.
Luckily there are still some others who went in touch with me after reading the other topic.

The ball is rolling, I've enforced it and I'll do it with all my power, what I do have in my hands, in my brain and on my bank accounts.

You meanwhile know, that I don't care that much about money, as long as I have enough for a living.

But this here is a concern of pride, reputation and honor - much more worthy than money ever can be IMO

Krull is the type of person, in a more intelligent time, that most would simply ignore. Maybe even look away ashamed. Like the crazy dude that lives at the end of the alley spewing insane rants to the rats about how the lizard people are plotting the overthrow of the rightful government.

But, seeing as how the web dwellers love to get themselves riled up over absolutely nothing, even if it makes them look like complete fools, here we are declaring Krull should be banned.

Don't argue with ignoramuses. They'll drag you down to your level and win with experience.

So, if anybody DID want to ban problem causers, I'd say Larry should go too. But I think it'd be a dumb idea. The drama brings the clicks, so I guess this is where we're at.

Carry on, folks. Just realise the longer you argue with the homeless insane person at the end of the alley, the closer you are to joining him.

In regards to vacuum tube guitar amplifier circuit designs, I'm dubious as to whether any court would grant exclusivity under Trade Secret Protection. If they have, please list verifiable examples.

I'm ignorant to any examples in court as well. All I know is that he has some grounds to a lawsuit. Whether or not he has an IP to enforce is entirely up to the courts. I have no dog in either race as I'll never own either companies amps. Maybe Kemper profiles . I just find it interesting the responses from either camp publicly.

1) A quick google search shows there have been many court cases regarding vaccum tube amplifiers. However I have not seen a single one that did not include a patent.

2) I am currently waiting for a Kemper in the mail and a 100% fully intend on buying Fortin profiles from third parties. NOT from the Officially Licensed Replicat Audio website. The reason I find this hilarious is because I remember just a couple of years ago Fortin expressing his dislike for Kemper existing and saying something along the lines of people stealing "his" amps. Isn't that rich? lol

Also I just revisited the Hi watt (aka Cameron Aldrich) thread in the Cameron subforum lol......

Find out where he lives and we all go and take a shit on his front doorstep.

Big shit, green flies swarming on top.
