monkey gav Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi all,I was speaking to a guy today who runs an enginering company, he said that if i wanted he would cnc copy a booster made by a biking company and reproduce them anodised in different colours for something like 3 quid. I was thinking i could sell them on ebay for a fiver posted but i was'nt sure whether this was legal. please tell me what you think and if you would be interested Gavyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeZee Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) LOL, you can't just make 1 change, and its legal. As you've openly admitted your going to copy someone else's design.Its not the legal side of it. Whoever it is, has spent time and money creating and testing and developing a design. Working with riders and teams, metal suppliers and machinists to produce something that works well.... and you just want to rip em off... who cares if its legal mate... you suck.You are virtually trying to screw over the likes of heatsink, by stealing thier ideas and trying to do them out of business.
