Aquatuning/Phobya Fail

[Sadasius]

talk about blowing things out of proportion guys.

Blowing it out of proportion?!? Seriously I can understand your reason to defend them as you have a stake to sell your gear but don't smear yourself with the likes of these people so early in your game. Aquatuning are crooks plain and simple. They bought Trademarks from the manufacturers here so they can be the only sellers as well as to sell their own crap there. The rest of the retailers got letters that they cannot sell Thermochill, Swiftech, DangerDen etc because Aquatuning holds the rights. They stole plain and simple and they are not apologetic about it. They are scum and for some reason are here to do business. Now considering they are in the WC section into case design it would imply they are looking for a better image to show they rock in the enthusiast crowd and enforce sales of their crappy blocks. They will of course say business is business and what they have done was legal but you decide with your wallet. Still would be flattered having them use your design? I would be dead ashamed and angry!

im being pretty honest here. If they sold my stuff or not. What im saying is my self i would feel pretty proud to have my pictures used in videos. When i built c-macc's 1 and 2 they were featured on TV in the USA, they were featured on engadget (front page) they never asked for my permission they all so never asked me if it was oky.

It made me feel proud as puch.

We all need to band together in this industry , hobby , profession "to some" and work together not smear , slime and crate a uproar.

I have no side to take. Yes i sell a product but i wont side with any over any products or shops what so ever. Im just giving you "my" objective view.

Honesty none of this farce makes Xtreme systems look good at all. Oh and the original owner of Thermochill is a very good mate of mine whom i talk to all the time so i do know what happened in the past but to me that's were it belongs. (we all make mistakes) and i wont be drawn into a argument that has nothing to do with me neither sorry.

(edit)You don't get lower then Aquatuning. It is people like them that eliminate options and shrink a market to their liking so they can control sales and pricing. It is exactly what they are doing. I am not going to rant any further. I said my piece to Dave (Movieman) and soon we shall see if they are even allowed to stay here at all. If they are I will move on to another forum plain and simple. I made my stand.

As i have understood it Antony @ Bit-tech has been in direct contact with you.

If not im sorry, but for your information your case has now been removed new video up HERE

This has now been resolved please close.

Thankyou for removing my work, I appreciate it.




Mayhem, I do not mind my images being used in videos under normal circumstances, however if i do not agree with the situation they are being used in I DO mind. Imagine if your images of your dye were being used to promote someone elses dye, for example. I doubt you would let that happen.

I take exception to that comment.
How in any way does this discussion effect XS except that it is deemed worthy by some of the members here to be discussed?
I really don't like it when someone tries to offload a subject as being a negative to the site itself to try and influence decisions.
XtremeSystems IS the members. They make it what it is and within reasonable limits have the right to post their feelings about companies both positive and negative.
