| Hello again
First of all, as you say, Mark's work is extremely good. But with no disrespect intended, he didn't publish any of the Experts or Sportsmans flights in 2006. For 2007 we wanted to ensure that all flights were published, and of course, on the 3dx website - that's only reasonable. And incidentally, that's another reason for the demise of the DVD, you can't get all the flights on one disk, even a double layer type.
Regarding copyright, trademark infringement, passing off, et al. You can't go and film a football match, or a Grand Prix, and you can't film 3d Masters either for commercial gain (in this hypothetical context gaining traffic by the use of unauthorised video). There always has been a specific clause that prohibits this, as with most events. As regards "more could have been published sooner if more people were given the right to do so", I would have been perfectly happy to see any alternative videos published on the 3DX site, with the 3DX URL on them. And anyone could have published any videos they wanted as long as they acknowledged by way of the 3dx URL where they came from. It is unfortunate the message was distorted in translation.
Notwithstanding the alleged effect on discussion, sometimes you do have to exercise your rights.
Mark, if you're reading this, now you know you've got to work out how to produce 150 videos in 3 days... :-) |
, there were a few videos on another site that someone took, as I am aware the 3DM people demanded theses were taken down and asked not to refer to the event as 3d Masters. As far I can see this is the only event that behaves in this was which is a real shame.
Pictures are ok, but theres nothing like seeing a video
Loosen up guys
