You may notice that in the right hand forum list we had initially had two competition forums for 3dx and 3dm above the others.
We have been instructed to remove all content from our home pages re these events and all other references on the outside, links and associations.
We have made no associations or links but we did have forums with the event titles.
This have had to be moved and placed within Competitions.
So if you were following these threads, please redirect your focus to inside the competitions forum.
Then there is this:
You may not have read the 3dmasters forum, so I must post in our main forum area so that members are aware of our current situation.
We have been advised that 3dmasters is a registered trademark and therefore we are requested to remove video footage that we took at the recent 2007 3dmasters.
We were not aware that showing such footage on our site as a non commertial venture was an infringment of such laws, and therefore we had no intent to do harm to 3dmasters or any of it's associates.
As requested content as been removed. We have not been asked to remove all forum references at this time and hope that free speach within our site can remain without further legal issues arrising.
Please understand that MHC are unable to discuss this further with members, but please accept our appologise. Both to 3dmasters for showing footage of their event without permission and to our members for removing interesting content on our site.
We wll continue to video flying events around the UK other than 3dm and 3dx, and will be sure to gain permission from these future events prior to taking the footage.
Someone wrote this in response :
I don't expect any response to this post from any other members here, but you can rest assured that my personal feeling on this matter will be directed to the person (JB) responsible for this sorry, and stupid, state of affairs.
JB = Jeff Barringer
Then I wrote this :
I agree with you **** matey, as long as he makes a quick buck or 2, that's all that man cares. There was no signage at the 3DM stating that no video equipment or camera equipment should be used nor were there any copyright laws mentioned by the man in question (JB)
So Therefore the people who videod the event did so at their own FREE WILL, therefore the aforementioned Video clips belong to the person who took them andNOT 3DM. So Mr Barringer take your head out of the clouds and do something for the good of the sport and NOT yourself and allow these people access to their own video footage of the event.
This post was written by me with NO outside influence , so, anything regarding this post should be directed at me and no one else.
I wonder if Mr Barringer can explain this or hasn't he got the guts to confront the people asking questions. |
