So you would be ok with it if you made a product that was completely original, spent a ton of money, time, and effort producing it, and then someone comes along later and sells your copyrighted product, but idiots go around saying it's ok because the shape is slightly different?

Verdes has a patent for the pillowed 6x6, so this is a knock off.

I was actually going to check to see if it had been posted there but I really wanted to say "Breaking News". At least it's spreading the news a bit.
I can't believe they are adding so much good stuff, I could order so many things right now. I would probably get a Gigaminx, QJ 4x4, QJ 5x5, Siamese cube, S/S 2x2, C4U Cube, Type A II, Type A III, stackmat timer, mini stackmat and a Super Square One.
I ordered s/s 2x2 normal 2x2 A II AIII(for a friend) and superfloppy form ebay
I will probabl compare the s/s 2x2 to a normal 2x2.

Didn't Tony Fisher ask for us not to sell his mods?

Ok guys, I have had the pillowed 6x6 and the s/s 2x2 for a while now. I did not want them that much, but my dad always orders from DX, DP, etc.
2x2: The 2x2 is like an eastsheen, but I made it good very quickly, because of the screws. It moves very fast, but it has more lockups. I was tempted to use it over my eastsheen though. Think of it as a diansheng in 2x2 form. Overall, it is better than eastsheen when it is new, but it is worse than a broken in eastsheen.
6x6: Not very good. They seem to have extended one of the centers so you dont have to glue the 2 pieces. It barely clicks, but it actually still has the clicking mechanism. The giant problem is the internal layers. It constantly gets out of alignment. Also, there are lots of pops. I would say just go for v-cube.

well, it's up to verdes to look at his patent being infringed, why do we bother?
If you want to buy it, then it's up to you. If Verdes doesn't want DP/DX to sell those, he should do something about it??

Grrr, me wants to try it. It looks so tasty!
But.. I can't do that to V-cubes
I know the feeling, that's why my competition 3x3x3 is always Rubik, do I have clone's? Yes as I collector I have many from the 80's and a few of the new types, like cube4you, but I do not use them in competition.
- Did you know that last year more than 1 mil clone cubes where confiscated in Europe.....

I actually think that is quite hypocritical Ton. Either you buy them, or you don't. The reason why (collecting) doesn't matter.
You have even told someone that using a knock-off V6 is allowed at a competition (I agree with that) but you seem to think that is morally wrong?
It would be so much easier if Verdes would either sell more products himself, or licensed the technology to others (and they would need to pay a percentage).
If these cubes are really illegal to produce and sell, they would also be illegal to buy and thus should be not allowed in competition. The problem seems to be that they are not proven to be illegal.

agreed
the way intellectual property law effectively works is that you need money to spend on lawyers to defend your property. it seems like verdes best option is doing what they are currently doing, selling a superior product. The next step would be licensing.
