Guess a little controversy is being stirred up by the original creator with Ghost Effects over the name of their Pep Box clone.

As long as WEM/Charlie Watkins don't have a problem, I don't see the issue.

Man, that guy's facebook is full of hate towards Muslims, Mexicans, even vegetarians.
I don't understand people getting territorial over clones. Ignore me, just being dumb again.

Oops, thought this was some random cloner starting beef. Always do your research before posting if you don't want to look dumb like me.

This is an easy fix. Ian should change the name to Peepee Box. We get the lulz, and a crusty old fart gets angrier. Everyone wins.

Can't speak to the UK legal system but over here trademarks aren't worth shit if you don't defend them. Usually it's an email, rather than a facebook post, though.

Yeah, but that's why I mentioned WEM. I'd think that if anyone has the trademark, it's more likely to be them.
Then again, I'm not totally sure.
In any case, Ian's reply was basically "okay, if you're pissed about it, email me or have your lawyer email me and we can talk about it."

Could always call it the alt-right box.

Well Charlie Watkins is dead so he probably "doesn't have a problem with it."

I may have been bent when I stupidly weighed in on this on OG last night.
Oops.
I haven't checked the reply comments to those I left on Ian's post yet.
Kinda don't wanna open IG now.

Well, actually, both Iommi and Pope Francis chimed in and you should be getting cease & desist orders from their respective lawyers shortly.

Ah man, I thought those guys would be cool.
Ah well, better use my real name.
G. Oobert it is.

So, pretty much the same as when I post around here?
Nice.
