    Hi Greg,

    Many thanks,

    Mark

    Thanks TWINSET for the update and the sad news of the outcome, i am sure all agree on this site and others that the last thing we need is the sites to be shut down as well as it would be like losing a friend.

    Any updates will be greatly recieved.

    And as someone else has mentioned expect the counter-fit fake parts to start poping up from certain countrys.

    Does that mean members that show the Tamiya symbol and segments from there manual have to remove them from there topic and Avator?

    From Netsmith;

    Tamiya have agreed to take no further action with regard to infringements of copyright on both the decals and manuals on the site, in light of our swift cooperation and also the support we have shown them through the years.

    From the beginning these items were always a grey area and I always said if Tamiya asked TC to stop we would do so - that time has come.

    As part of my argument I did point out that were were simply providing a service to user who wanted to repair their old models and much of the information was no longer available.

    Its my feeling the rereleases has stirred things up a little.

    They understand the requirement for these manuals and point out that many are available as parts, and an increasing number are being made available via their own site.

    The alternative to complying with their demands was the prospect of a long drawn out legal battle, with no guarantee of success. Either way there would be costs in time, money and stress I could not afford.

    I appreciate your support throughout the matter but this particular fight is now over.

    I know from experience that Tamiya are a 'funny' company to do business with (not just on this matter) so where as talk of petitions and letters are appreciated, I know they will a) not sway them and :) are likely to antagonize them further.

    So that's it. Unless anything changes, which seem highly unlikely, the manuals and decals are now gone from the site.

    We must insist that manuals or links to manuals, artwork for decals or associated links are not published on this site anywhere. Please also do not ask me or anyone else associated with the running of the site for copies as we will not supply them.

    Regards

    Chris

    So that's it - no more manuals on TC, and no more advertising copies of manuals or 'reproduction' decals.

    Any trades offering or requesting such will be deleted I'm afraid

    Although i am/was rebuilding a SandScorcher i was going to buy the re-release for my 8year old son for his Birthday in October similer to when i was his age getting into the original Tamiya kits.

    But after all this with Tamiya i am very disapointed and will NOT be spending money for there profits untill things get sorted for everyones pleaseure either Old-School Vintage keeping the Tamiya Heritage alive and kicking or Re-releases for the next geaneration of racers etc.

    WAKE UP TAMIYA AND STOP BEING SILLY, MAKE THIS WORK FOR ALL (OLD AND NEW)

    Are you getting fed-up with Tamiya flexing their muscles by stopping Tamiyaclub hosting a library of vintage build manuals and offering repro decals, please post below.

    No messages, just add a blank post below to show Tamiya the dissatifaction they are creating in the rc community................

    ** EDIT - it appears that many people didn't read/understand this first post, 'no messages, just add a blank post', so I have added a poll **
