consumers are at fault for allowing these companies to greedy and illegally buy their way to copyright/trademark protection.its the same b.s. the I.R.R.A. is doing for music.fact is downloading is not whats hurting music sales selling cds way over value is 15-20 bucks for cds.bs,Fact is recording companies give no talent hacks like nirvana(all the grunge/alternative artists?nu metal?kfed,paris hilton)deals which is a waste of money,Then they put cds most people want out of print. Plain and simple make all out of print cds custom order then you would only have to make the ones that have been orderd and this would put out of business most downloads because most want albums or songs no longer available because the out of print b.s. AS for jackson needs to stop calling their custom shop a custom shop and call it what it truely is a mod shop. A custom shop hamer had the best and true to the definition of what a customshop was. If you dream it they would build it. I would state the oil company greed has taken over jackson,esp,gibson and the rest of the big names. if you want jackson customshop to be a custom shop once more,and gibson to allow other companies to use their body/headstock shapes. THen you have to fight back and protest these companies. We left handers have been illegally discriminated against for ages. and now with the technology the was it is and these companies cant hide behind making left handed guitars/parts/this includes bridges (floyd rose,etc) too expensive. They are still hiding behind it or simply coming out and saying we dont care we wont make left handed guitars. just wait till the day every person whos not a signed artist will have to put up with a set instrument that will have no mods or customshop options because only the artists who are signed will have those.while everybody else is stuck with the crappy (put the crappist brand name beginner guitar here) instruments .The way big business greed has gotten to the instrument manufacturers, this future is not too far off. i would like to know the reasoning behind the no artist replica,inlay bull crap. FACT is there is no artist including steve vai, or vinnie vincent who owns copyrights/trademark rights to their guitars/basses. IF i had the cash i would buy all the major guitar/bass companies and straighten them out,back to making high quality products, and caring and giving what the customers truley want.as for getting permission for trademarked/copyright graphics example tmnt getting that grapic putting on a custom one off is nothing more than free advertising as for a whole line of guitars/basses with the grapic then percentage of profit from the line,and permission would be needed. like back in the old days before these liberal slacker droputs redefined the copyright/trademark laws in favor of the oil company greed. i would love to know how much those dropouts at the copyright/trademarking offices are getting under the table by these greedy companies, and all other companies.sorry but i truely get pissed off when companies stop caring about consumers rights for profits,and when companies abuse certain rights(copyrights/trademark rights) ala gibson to make oil companie profits.
