bullfrog:
Your right Tim, Thanks by the way for sorting my bushes. Got them today. Have posted thanks on D44 forum. :D
I hope no one pilfers my designs. Not that they will be as well engineered! 8)

drutt:
sadly it's not unknown for people to copy other designs, and the european patent laws make protecting yourself basically laughable (don't get me started on software patents)

Now, I appreciate that this is to some extent a rumour at present, but I wouldn't be suprised in the slightest if it happened to be true, along with other rumours of defective parts and who knows what else.

then again, at least it makes the shows easier..  you only need to go to one stand to see a design you like, then work out who's it is and go buy it from them instead :)

Very very well put.  I have been thinking of a way to get this topic back on track for a bit, now i don't need to as that sums it up perfectly :wink:

drutt:
what I do find a little odd is that this is only causing upset now.  Granted there is a slight difference in that this is a much smaller company that is being taken for a ride, however it strikes me as more than coincidental that some of their designs so closely resemble other "larger" makes.

Add to that questions of reliability which are most likely stirred up by rumours, and the further rumours of lousy support (post everything back and we might give you a replacement?) and I personally wonder why people still give them money.

then again, I'm probably missing the point, it's a known trait of mine.

note:   This is of course all in my humble opinion, which neither reflects the opinion of mud-club as an entity, or even reality since it has been far too long since I slept and I am paying rather too much attention to the rumour mill.  

I am however tired of mud-club being dragged into the argument, or criticised for being overly cautious when it comes to lawsuits.  I've taken great pains to not mention any company names, and repeat, once again for anyone that may still care this is all opinion, and as such may be utter codswallop
