OK folks...i'm not much on petitions...moreover EU/Interpol aimed ones...but right is right........in France and probably other countries in the EU soon ,Cybergun...you know the guys we've all seen the trademarking issues with over here,.....have been at it hard over there.they have gone and trademarked everything from brand names they don't even sell like Tokyo Mauri,KWA,Marushin,Maruzen,etc. to even common airsoft words and phrases like "hop up","airsoft","softair","don't shoot the creature" used in packaging which makes everything but their products "counterfeit" in either product form or by it's packaging....even if they are a brand like Tokyo Mauri that predates the founding of Cybergun by more than 20 years...
so here's a link to the worldwide petition to help stop Cybergun doing what they tried here and are doing in France to other country's players....if your a player,please sign ...even if you aren't please help keep a monopoly from squeezing more money from folks.....plus there is also the idea that the copy writes may be enforceable in some form over here if they become generalized in the EU....

Please sign this as I will be dealing with this issue in france and it'll be very much appreciated. Thanks savoy.

guess how much we care about airsoft in france

I suppose I'm the only one who remembers that this happened 3 years ago, and saw that same petition 3 years ago?

No sir, old man! I remember it for the past to years the same to this one.

Been there, done that, and still don't care. I also remember three years ago when "Cybergun" tried this crap. Hello! Welcome to anything business related in the world.

yeah..this has been around for 3 years.....it's taken this long to even start getting any notice by the required governmental agencies...which the players over there have just started to get moving.....so yeah..the more people that sign the petition still helps.....
