Just another FYI

[Lamonster]

I just got off the phone with a member here that's going to be streaming a live internet show on a weekly basis about everything Spyder so he says. He's a local guy and has been working on this for the last 8 months but this is the first I've heard of it. He PMed me to ask about promoting it on the site and I asked what was in it for us. Short answer is this is not a paid show so there is no advertisement, I was hoping to get some promotion for the site but that has not been offered. I'm sure the link will show up here sooner or later so I just want you to know this has nothing to do with this our website even though he's calling the show Spyderlovers TV.

I'm not to happy that he's using the name I came up with back in July of 2007. I don't know how you see it but to me that's building on another mans foundation.

I think so.

Lamont, ..can you register the Spyderlovers name with State?...in WA state we can register business/co. names and if used there is an infringement injunction...something to consider...

Based on the info you provided, it sounds like an opportunist trying to hitch his wagon to a Rockstar....

No reason to allow someone else to build on something you created. Worse yet, no reason to allow someone else to potentially harm the goodwill and good reputation you have established under the Spyder Lovers name.

And he's STILL a member ?

You have the power.

Handle it.

[Smokinspyder]

Imitation is the best for of compliment ??? OK well enough of my parents talking here . I agree with above and that I think thats its crap dude wants to take YOUR though/creation , Unless you get some kick back . I think we need to make him an offer he cant refuse ;P ( sorry I watched the godfather the other day ). Although the free advertisement might be good for your website !!!

[arntufun]

I understand he will not be running advertisment ad's on his show but a background set banner will do the trick. Maybe you should make contact with him again and try to pitch that idea and send him a banner. That way it will be a win/win for both partys. He gets to promote here and you there.

I like the idea of a streaming show, but not under these circumstances.

[SnoWhite]

Lamont....he is a local guy here in East Tn and told me he was doing this about 6 months ago, but I didn't think he was serious. I think it is terrible he is using the SyderLover name and you should stop him. There is only ONE Spyderlover and YOU are it!!!!!! It's not right for him to use your good name for his own advancement. IMHO

[Lamonster]

Perhaps, but didn't someone 'borrow' the "Spyder" portion of their 2007 idea from somewhere else?

Strikes me as being the same thing..............

Nope. I've been building club websites for 12 years now. If you're talking about SpyderTalk Marc did have a site built off of his DooTalk site before me but I never saw the site till after I started Spyderlovers. I placed my order for a Spyder that same month.

[ARtraveler]

You should check into copyrightng the web site name--or register with the state as someone has suggested.

It is downright wrong for someone to steal what you have built up.

When I lived in Duluth MN--many years before the Burger King chain of restaurants--there was a drive in called Nicks Burger King.

When Burger King came out--they bought him out--he ended up with his own Burger King chain restaurant. I am guessing he had his business name established and they could not infringe unless "they did it his way"

I think he is hanging on your coattails and going along for the ride that you started. Not respectable imho

[joe schmoe]

If he's here local...I say we go meet with him and SUGGEST that he do what Lamont says...Or else
Local guy -----> <------Lamont (the true Spyderlover)

[DLewis]

Whole heartedly.

Or else what Joe?

[M109Dreamer]

I don't get how this guy wants to use Spyderlovers TV and not atleast help improve the website by atleast some sort of advertisement of banner/plug? Apparently its not to promote the Spyder but some other agenda?

Spyderlovers is Lamont's....this guy...I hope he's a stand up guy and do the right thing...

[acinpcola]

Lamont, I agree, he should at least have your website banner as a back drop.

Lamont, Get your Spyderlover title copywrited. Then you can sue this guys axx off----but you will have to pay the lawyer.
There's no easy way out.

I think you missed my point...... SPYDERlovers borrowed the 'Spyder' from the company that coined the name/unique spelling. Adding 'lovers' to the end of it is hardly original.

'Spyderlovers TV' strikes me as a similar use of a borrowed brand name.....

It original enough that I was able to claim it in 2007. That name was not my first choice, I wanted SpyderRiders but it was taken, as a matter of fact there wasn't a whole lot that wasn't taken seeing the Spyder name was used in the car market way before Can Am used it, it's also used for paintball guns. If you don't think there was a reason he used that name then I don't know what to tell you.

[xpeschon]

He has some pretty big shoes to fill using that name to say the least..

[Mr. White]

Well, I won't watch it!

[Y Rider]

In the other thread "Spyders.TV" he is naming the show Spyder TV. Maybe he changed the name? Still I don't think it's ethical to promote another site hear even if it's supposed to be non-profit.
