He's posted photos of his figurines ever since I've been on CB. I've never considered buying one or even knew they were

I bought one of his figures for my daughter. John Beck. He did a great job with

His skills will be missed.

LaVellIfIKnow

4/15/16 10:05pm

Most of us knew he wasn't doing it for his own gain. He was showing his work

Beautiful and unique artwork that does a great service for the fan base

YIsForBrigham

this dude has been banned for life for showing pics of his figurines? yikes

Chris is a great guy and a huge BYU fan. I know him personally. He hardly makes any money off the BYU figures

billyrust

Completely agree. That was a great product/service he provided.

Zenoch

4/15/16 10:15pm

Maybe cougarboard got a cease and desist letter

blueaussie

4/15/16 10:28pm

But he does make them. And sells them without a license from the school, violating the school's property rights. I

RE: What does that have to do with CB?

blueaussie

4/15/16 10:37pm

You serious Clark? He posts them here. Other users post about how awesome they are and how they bought them from him.

byuTX

4/15/16 10:38pm

I never once saw him advertise, only share. I also don't see why simply telling

BYUCoug11

4/15/16 11:13pm

He's been told, and he agreed not to post them anymore.

El Jefe

4/15/16 11:17pm

Yeah I see that now. Haven't been on really at all today and hadn't caught up

BYUCoug11

4/15/16 11:21pm

Help us understand how if he is continuing to sell them without a license,

SierraCoug

4/16/16 12:28am

For all we know he is having a case built against him as we speak.

kalifi

4/16/16 12:40am

We have CBers displaying Miracle Whip trademarks and pro sports team

SierraCoug

4/16/16 12:53am

Just because he didn't say that particular one was for sale, doesn't mean he never does.

El Jefe

4/16/16 8:07am

Honest question: if it was such a huge deal, why wait 10 years?

fredetteaboutit13

4/16/16 9:47am

Maybe the trademark complaints just started happening in the last year...

kalifi

4/16/16 9:54am

I posted a TL;DR explanation at the top of the board that addresses that:

El Jefe

Oh please

Jeremy

4/16/16 6:58am

More like, shame on the trademark holders making a fuss.

mantis mutu

4/15/16 10:37pm

More like shame on CB for IP liability confusion

Bob Vance

4/15/16 11:53pm

I'm not an IP lawyer.

El Jefe

4/16/16 12:06am

Why hasn't BYU shut him down if he is violating licensing requirements?

SierraCoug

4/16/16 12:29am

I don't know. I'm not BYU.

El Jefe

4/16/16 8:08am

Wait did you just out that user sane give us their real name?

blueaussie

4/16/16 8:18am

I guess your definition of "allowing him to do it" is different from mine.

El Jefe

4/16/16 8:46am

It doesn't matter that he only makes a little, the fact that he makes any money of them violates the team

scall

4/16/16 6:27pm

I wonder what the reason for the ban was

Bravescoug

4/15/16 10:14pm

Unfortunately the mods have a rule and they don't want to make an exception.

brazilcoug

4/15/16 10:16pm

Hasn't he posted his hobby for some time now?

LaVellIfIKnow

4/15/16 10:18pm

Except for the last 5 years of course

Huh?

cougfanblue

4/15/16 11:43pm

Let's just say that there were warnings given, which were completely ignored.

El Jefe

4/15/16 10:34pm

Did he make his figures out of Romex(R)?

AndyDwyer

4/15/16 10:38pm

...and my legacy continues...

I will keep the legend alive

Thank you for a explanation. Makes sense.

PapaBill

I wouldn't be surprised if the HCO was involved somehow

billyrust

4/15/16 10:40pm

When you say "let's just say", are you saying like I do

SJS

4/15/16 10:41pm

Also, since he's made this public, I'll mention this:

Kindly suspend yourself for discussing deleted posts. TIA.

Besides trademarks, what's the rule? Trying to sell something on cougarboard?

RdF3

4/15/16 10:38pm

That's also a rule, yes.

El Jefe

4/15/16 10:42pm

Except for tickets. You can solicit for tickets.

Coach's Dad

4/16/16 12:45am

But only in the Ticket Category

Kirkintilloch

Correct

El Jefe

Par for the course around here...

What if he loves part of it and dislikes other parts of it? Is that so hard to

Polecat

4/15/16 11:35pm

I think most people feel that way. i just get the sense he doesn't like it much

Malathion

4/15/16 11:49pm

Hey, it happens.

Polecat

4/16/16 7:23pm

Yep. Take a break and come back.

Malathion

4/16/16 7:54pm

He doesn't actually dislike it. He enjoys being persecuted.
