| | | ? Has there officially been a ban on China Ceramics groupbuy ?
I was just wondering the status on the decision here. Seems to be some evidence that they ARE concerned with copyrights. Hate to pass up a potentially great deal with awesome graphics if the issues were in fact overblown. | | Sponsored Links |  |

Yeah I think we're in the clear, aren't we? I'd really like to get a GB goin on those Bellgio tourney mockups if we can get them for the crazy SFC prices.

i think sfc cares not a whit for american copyright law, but they've done a reasonable job pretending that they do. i'm not sure when it's ever been CT's job to tell people what they can or can't do, though. |

can chiptalk ban a GB?
I guess they can prevent us from organizing it here, but we can order if we want...
just wanting to clarify. I don't want to upset anybody here, but there really isn't anything they can do to stop us from ordering.
i'm working on my own chip design right now, but would be interested in a GB if the chip looks good. |

Here's some pics that have peaked some interest. Bellagio tourney reps  
ViciousGame started a thread about it in Custom Chips General here
X-Files, are you saying that you wouldn't condone a group buy from SFC? From the quality of the chips seen here that'd be sad if that was the case. [Whiny little girl voice]But X-Fiilllleeesss.....[/Whiny little girl voice] look at how close the edges line up!

Ya know I didn't really follow the whole copyright thing all the way to end because of the rediculousness it reached, but would he not approve because of that? Or is it because he'd rather keep our GBs to the sponsors of the site that actually give back to us?

I do not want to put words in his mouth.
