Californiaman Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hey everybody, lets do a Gibson Forums Calender Everyone can enter a favorite picture of your Gibson guitar. We can get an independent guitar magazine to do the judging. Maybe we can even see that the proceeds from the calender go to the Children's Cancer Society. What do you think?

pippy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 My understanding of the laws of copyright infringement, at least in the U.K., is that; Â If the proposed calendar was produced by a collective who were to call themselves, say, 'The Friends of the Forum', even if the calendar was to include only Gibson instruments, if the Gibson name did not appear anywhere on said calendar, nor on any of the instruments (which would limit the choice only slightly as Photoshop [TM] is a wonderful tool) , nor did anything which is a trademark or has been copyrighted appear on the same, no-one could stop it from being produced as there would be no grounds of infringement. Â After all, the instruments just might all be Chinese fakes; who could tell?........ Â Well, most of us, I suppose................................

Â If not, there are currently five pages, containing eighty-eight posts, on this topic over on the Les Paul side of the forum, and that's just the second part of the original post.

Californiaman Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Pippy, I'm being as sarcastic with this post as I possibly can. I thought if we keep asking for it, Gibson would get off their corporate arss and let us do this calender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
