So WHO will be first?

I am sure Your omniscience and legal interpretational "authority" about a subject that is currently intensely disputed (by legally competent parties) like the fair use of IP makes You also aware of the IP policy of BBC towards miniature manufactureres in general as well as any possible existing arrangements between the Dr. Who IP holders and the miniature manufacturers You are currently defaming in a public forum?

surely the ongoing legal disputes that increasingly restrict the copyright trolling industry can not have escaped Your vigilant eye?

Yes If you want cry about this, create a new topic et don't pollute this.

btw, THX for the sticky on this board about inofficial Dr. Who miniatures, I never realised there were so many;
very comprehensive!

Hey, how many companies have "not" figures, most of them I'd say.

As for IP, does Battlefront have all of the tanks designers' permission to make all those vehicles?

I know that COD licence all the weapons from their respective armourers. Good product placement for all those NRA nutjobs!

4 of them. Most out of the UK. I dont feel like Im missing out on anything either, plenty of other companies that don't steal to take my money.

as for the change of name makes it all right. Bullshit. Make an exact copy of micky mouse and call it morris mouse and see how far you get. The steal stuff off people unlikely to fight back, that does not make it ok. That just means they pick soft targets.

wether you find stealing IP is acceptable or not changes nothing either. Its just you agree with that sort of theft and if you give them money you support them in their theft.

Very simple shit. Stealing is stealing.

I don't think heresy is big enough to be on Disneys radar.i agree ip theft is bad,but in this case i think what is being done is covered by fair use, and is being done more out of affection for the subject than a cold lust for profit

I await their lawyers. Maybe I should let the beebs lawyers know too. In fact due to your post I might just do that.

OMG, how petty!  Is this the same chap who recently told us he edits other peoples' films?

Let's calm it down fellas.

And this derailed thread,  as with all failing sitcoms, requires a timely reboot and reframe:

We've now seen the first photo of Peter Capaldi in costume. In many ways a traditional Doctor costume complete with frockcoat.

So... the race is on. Heresy and Crooked Dice...over to you...

Article here says that this is HIS costume, which makes sense as it isn't the one he was wearing during his regeneration.(i really hopped he'd have the goatee and mustache combo for his time as the doctor.)

[former user]

couldn't it be just a costume shot? he doesn't look like make-up....

No worries.

Despite the valiant attempt, I don't think this topic is going anywhere productive anymore. In view of the heated discussion, I'll lock it.
