Re: Elite systems cooyright
This letter was sent out to almost everyone who was selling C64 items on ebay. Specifically T-shirts.
Steve is attempting to extort the same amount of money from everyone, regardless of how many units have actually been sold.
He alleges he has an exclusive license from Polabe Holdings N.V but he only acquired this on the 6th March so how he thinks he has any authority to claim damages on items that were sold BEFORE he held any rights, is beyond me.
I have contacted a few ebay sellers and everyone who got back to me is ignoring the letter(s).
Steve is a proven con-man (Google Spectrum Recreated).
His latest Kickstarter has been pulled for copyright reasons: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...edition-play-0
Until Court papers arrive (which I don't think they ever will) you can ignore the letter.
If it ever did go to court, it would cost Steve thousands up front and there's no way he'd do that.
He's just trying to scare people into paying.
Strangley, his ebay account (elite_systems_group) is no longer registered. He WAS selling a few C64 T-shirts himself but now isn't, which is very odd, especially as he claims to be the exclusive licensee.
He has awarded a license to ebay seller 'tshirtsinc' who also sells under the ebay ID 'tshirtlegends' to sell Chuckie Egg merchandise (Elite's EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL AND NOT AT ALL MADE UP license number is 0123456789)
Elite's 1995-esque website even fudges the licensing start date as it says it started on 17th August 2019 (3 months into the future) : https://www.elite-systems.co.uk/elit...me.php?show=94 |
