Wow, another DIYZone Pass Clone - Page 8

DaveM · 30th March 2010, 02:15 PM

I think you are missing the point. This is about stealing intelectual property. We all DIY for fun and to save some cash. In my speaker projects I make about 1$ an hour for my time. The time that it takes a manufacturer to perfect and polish a product needs to be recouped. Of course we can build them cheaper and likely just as good. They can be cheaper because we aren't paying salaries of designers. The fact that DIYZone is stealing these designs and making a profit off the work of some of the industries best designers is the real problem.

At least he left my name off it.

My brother in law lives in Hong Kong: wanna go after him?!

He has a lot of big names in his catalogue, you'd think there would be a line up of lawyers at his door.

I really hope that this kind of nonesense won't mean we'll not see an F6 some day

You will see an F6, but as I have mentioned before, I am
bifurcating the offerings from FW. I will probably make only 10
of the F6 and then publish the schematic. Non "F" series are
slated for continuous production, and there will not be a DIY
version until production is terminated.

This thread was started 5 years a go!

Getting ripped off is nothing new new to Mr. Pass.

Like most truly successful people he's adapted, pushed on.

Unfortunately old threads never seem to die... i'm sure we'll all have to read this one
again in another 5 years...
