Re: Counterfeit Parts
Don't even waste your time finding out if their illegal copy works, immediately find yourself a great copyright Attny., get them to initiate a stop and desist letter package out to everybody producing, selling, marketing that phony stolen product that illegally carries your name on it now, and save lives possibly.
Do that now please, as I could be racing in just 2 days against those knockoff product users in the next lane, that poorly copied junk could lock up, and cause my competitors car to t-bone me and kill me, and I can barely get out of my own way, never mind their way. The copied knock off will never be as good as the original engineered product, and now that you know, put a stop to it as you can easily, a lot easier since they put your name on it. I cannot use your product in my class, but willing to donate to help the legal battle to help stop others from buying, selling the phony products since I don't ever want to be the victim in the other lane. Get that attorney going on the case first, stop the phony products sale now!

Re: Counterfeit Parts
That is what I am talking about, stop the sales first, then the marketing, then go after those putting your name on their stolen design, that stops the knock offs being used.

Re: Counterfeit Parts
I am guilty of buying Speedmaster parts. Just this PPP Shifter look a like. It wasn't really that much cheaper and I did not do it because I was getting a deal. I had sent PPP emails and called them and couldn't get anyone to pick up a phone or reply and I was set on getting their shifter so I got a Speedmaster knockoff from Summit or Jegs but I did get a genuine Broader Valvebody kit for my C4 and it was worth it.... A beautiful piece.

Re: Counterfeit Parts
I’ve seen the offshore small block head on the dyno with numbers down 50 compared to Brodix..did not respond to basic tune…
We are doing a bbc offshore head now for a boat motor., I’ll report numbers when done.

Re: Counterfeit Parts
I don't know if "quarity" has improved but one fella I know bought some cheapie heads when those first came available. After just a few miles of running the valve seats were badly sunk. Heat treat? What's that?
But then those were not lettered with some reputable companies name. Be nice to have some lawyer take this on without cost to Jay and get a windfall reward to split with him. |

Re: Counterfeit Parts
Just read on Facebook the Summit response on the speedmaster valve bodies, they are going to destroy the valve bodies in stock, and contact those who bought them to resolve the copyright infringement

Re: Counterfeit Parts
It'll take about 2 minutes to remove the insignia from the CAD program. I suspect that they'll do exactly that and continue to manufacture the valve body.
How many countless goods do we see on a day to day basis produced in China from near-slave labor and stolen intellectual property? Without massive tariff's and a serious crackdown on patent/trademark/copyright infringement--which won't happen--the only solution is for people to stop buying all of this junk. Please forgive me if I don't hold my breath.

Re: Counterfeit Parts
I agree with not holding our breath waiting for a solution, but with such a
flagrant theft of property that is not theirs, and only their lack of understanding that the company name wasn't required to make it work, or a really stupid thief, their company name should not be allowed to import. Basically put them on a no fly list for parts( or ship). Can they just change their name, sure, but put the principals names on it too, and no company that they are involved in can import. There would be not a lot of problem to get around any of this, but if they had to repackage, change company names. re-incorporate, etc, it will slow them down. and if they are small, maybe it tips them over. I'd rather aggravate the crap out of them, then just let them off the hook. Press charges, let Homeland Security handle it, they would stop any further shipments. J.R. |
