Barry Threw: I care less for TC than I did for Opcode/StudioVision back in the day…and less than I did for Oberheim. But I can barely imagine how they are going to kill TC: It’s just too BIG isn’t it? They HAVE to be able to generate income from TC, don’t they? And why kill something that’s sure to make them pretty decent money. Oh, yeah. Gibson. Totally bonkers and beyond any rational thought. Well, buy any TC gear you want pretty soon, because Barry’s right ;-)

I used to work with this engineer who had a stint at Gibson where he worked on their Ethernet Guitar. He came away from that job with the opinion that the CEO is certifiably bonkers.

So I”m not surprised at all their trying to sue everyone…

Thank god I’m a keyboard player…

Yeah, they will kill TC too.

Don’t forget Oberheim. And almost Zeta.

This is not really new. Gibson has sued just about everyone under the sun that has had anything to do with them for years.

no one forgets that gibson destroyed Opcode & Studio Vision some years ago. We’d be in a FAR different place if that didn’t happen! luckily i don’t have a boner for gibsons…

Eh, Bill Gates, you better call your lawyers cause you simulated a concert experience using Guitar Hero AND have Slash using a Gibson guitar.
