It is a live concert, though it is niether live and or nor but a concert. Gibson loses and or owns rights but world of patent.

What will they do next? Well they did it already. These hypocrites re-issued 900 more guitars of an originally marketed “limited edition of only 400 guitars”. Guitar collectors beware of any claims by Gibson to be a “limited edition” model. Maybe there will be 1300 lawsuits filed against Gibson for fraudulent marketing practices.

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…
