There is no reason why we can't confirm that they have settled with Big West. "The simplest explanation" for Harmony Gold usually means they just decided they owned the rights to it.

1918

I wonder who they are going to get to do the music for Robotech 7?

They leave them alone because of their weak legal standing.

If somebody asked me if we should have bombed Japan, a simple, "Yes, by all means. Drop that frakker... Twice!"

Anything with the Harmony Gold logo on it is fair game to me.

Ya, Harmony Gold is now violating US Copyright law. If they aren't willing to abide by it, why should we respect their rights, especially the ones that they may or may not actually have.

We need to do something to try to notify Big West about this. Either by Graham through Yamato, or by Egan Loo directly to BW.

Completely understood. I just wanted to raise the issue. If Harmony Gold can break US copyright laws...

Many of us have seen the records. The US Copyright Office recognizes Big West's legal claim to Macross Plus and Macross II. Its registered, you can look it up. This is a clear violation of US copyright law.

We've done it before, Roy. Got websites behind us, too. The main MW page even featured the MFA logo for a time.

100% PURE MACROSS - ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES

I am partially to blame for their strictness, I was the first one to really make an issue about it, and asked that it be stopped. At this point, I see no harm with open discussion on the topic. I am not asking to set up a distribution ring on MacrossWorld.

I want to make it clear, I mean only discussing these products, and providing links to auctions and sites distributing them. I do not believe members themselves should be participating in the production and distribution of these products.

Seeing as Harmony Gold no longer seems to care about copyright law and have made it clear they will steal whatever they want, I am calling on MacrossWorld to lift the ban on discussions involving the bootlegging and pirating on these illegally licensed Macross products by Harmony Gold. I understand that there are certain legal reasons behind the ban as well, but I see no harm in its discussion, as long as no members are actually distributing it or producing it. Discussing the quality of said products, and providing links to sites that distribute them should be allowed.

This is stealing. Its time to start stealing back.

That's not a glitch, its just a bad movie.

I thought they called them "Reflex Weaponry".

I have a fiancee, thanks. I prefer real women.

If it was discovered that Hamrony Gold aquired the rights to DYRL? from whatever backwards company that currently owns them, and Harmony Gold released a Region 1 DVD of the movie, would you buy it?

Lucas doesn't do anything "bare bones". There will be enough here to satisfy the fans until the big box set comes out in a few years.

Am I the only one who finds it odd that we are the largest english speaking Macross fan community, and our only official contact is with Yamato?
