Re: theft of schems/module design

2001-06-09 by skuehnl@yahoo.de

Chris Huggett, ex-EDP, supposedly was flattered when hearing about
Doepfer considering the Wasp clone. Buchla laughed when offered
provisions for the 292-clone Borg filter by Grant Richter. (Note that
Hugget was not asked by Doepfer himself, though.) These modules are
old, as is the Pk/Thr.

Doepfer customers usually don't know about backgrounds and just awe
at modules like the multiladder (although it isn't so special, each
of the Wiard filter modules can do that), so I guess I find heated
SMOG discussions preferable <;-)

The dozen views on a story, you mean...

As for the SDIY discussion about the Multiladder theft, I
specifically liked Grant Richter's arguments. Unfortunately, the SDIY
archives were corrupt during this discussion; without warranty, I
recall his point was that Oakley could start advertising like "The
Oakley systems filter! which is so good that it is being adapted by
other companies!" etc you know. Don't waste a second on complaining
but see how you can take advantage out of such a situation.
