3D Masters runs because of its Sponsors generosity. In return, those sponsors require committment from 3D Masters that their wishes and needs will be met. It states very clearly in the programme that 3D Masters is a registered Trademark covering, among other things, Audio Visual Recordings. While we have no objection to videos being taken for personal use, and indeed being published on the web, NHC had taken, and publicised that they had taken, a huge amount of video which they were going to publish in their site. Such action could be seen to be a direct attempt to undermine 3D Masters Sponsorship programme, and when this was explained to Simon, he understood and all parties have agreed that he meant no malice and that it was a genuine misconception, to the extent that he has removed links as requested. Like it or not, 3D Masters has grown to become dependent upon the goodwill of Sponsors, and can only survive in this way. Jeff Barringer spends an incredible amount of his own (spare) time in developing and bringing 3D Masters to the World. If he were to stop doing it, he would certainly be an awful lot better off financially, mentally and physically. The existence of 3D Masters has nothing to do with Jeff's financial needs, more to do with his desire to provide the World, and particularly the UK with the World's biggest 3D event. This is my only statement on this matter as both Simon and I consider it now closed.
What an idiot. He hasn't even got the guts to answer questions. |
