Does RADBMX have a copyright on it? I doubt it, the logo does look a little similar to ours on here. I think he's within his rights to do this whoever it is but doesn't make it right. Wonder if those bikes are his then or if he has pinched some pics. Either way I won't be getting one.

 :LolLolLolLol: I didn't read it so missed the hand drawn part, must be pretty good if hand drawn though. But is there a Ripper on there? If not I will be paying a visit  :knuppel2: :LolLolLolLol:

ok so if it's some one on here - please step forward  ???


another thing is that if you are into old school bmx - then wouldn't you want a cool picture/ photograph of a real life bmx and show it's glory in the flesh and not drawn ?  ???

"something that will be appreciated

for many years to come." Really  ???

These were at T1 last Saturday night, Didn't have  a close at the calendar. But there was some concept drawings, I quite liked an orange VDC.

the rad logo is a rip off of the bmx action logo, so i think intellectual property claims would be worth zilch. but you have to register it as a trademark anyhow and indentify it as such with a little r in a circle.

A bit cheeky using the Radbmx logo but at the end of the day he isn't hurting anybody.
Title: Re: who wants to buy a RADBMX calendar
Post by: jT Racing on February 17, 2012, 01:21 AM
Agreed, especially as the bikes are drawn. If it was pics from here too then it would be a bit out of order.  Just see it as a compliment that it's worth copying.

Intellectual Property is an automatic right...not something that needs to be applied for.

This infringement has been reported to eBay and will be taken further if it is not removed.

The calender is still for sale but looks like the artwork has now been changed.  ;)

But your logo is an infringement of Bmx action.
Title: Re: who wants to buy a RADBMX calendar
Post by: jT Racing on February 19, 2012, 01:45 PM
And by that I mean that it isn't an original work and therefore falls outside of this piece of legislation.

Post by: Jaymz on February 19, 2012, 02:09 PM
cheeky fooker, at least I had the decency to ask if i could use the radbmx name [not logo] before I started producing stuff [not that permission was granted], his stuff is still for sale and the pics blatantly show the radbmx.co.uk
Title: Re: who wants to buy a RADBMX calendar
Post by: jT Racing on February 19, 2012, 02:36 PM
Who is it? Do we know them? Are they on here?
It's not the done thing. The .co.uk bit is a bit naughty. It's not hard to draw your own logo.
