If that is what you want to do, that's your prerogative, of course. I dare say you'll be receiving a reasonable amount of support from various quarters - understandably so.
But this is not the first time that such a topic has been raised here. From memory, there was an involved and quite acrimonious thread on more or less the same subject a few years ago, when we were still on the MSN boards (and which, for that reason, will not be in the available archive). I seem to remember that the consensus opinion was that it is not the duty of members here to take sides in private commercial disputes. But that was reached only after a bit of quite unnecessary bad feeling had been caused.
Best wishes,

hi jim thanks for the imput. i think to a degree your right thats why i said fair comment in my reply, i have left the seller negitive feedback saying in my comments what had gone on. but part of it does grind on me personaly. i hope this doesent go that way that was never my intension
what i was doing by raising this was i think airing the resentment i felt in what had gone on
and it has made me feel better for it
and i do respect and thank you for your input. i am not on a crusade just a bit pisxxx off. it does make you feel better having said something
but again agree with you in hoping we can discuse it in a proper way like what we are

, i contacted charlie and he confirmed they were not his or were a pirate copy. i contacted the seller who assured me they were not a pirate version. i contacted the person who sold gt to my seller and he told me they wernt there when he sold gt. so i worked it out all on my own that my seller must have loaded them up. contacted him again and he replyed that they were charlies patches and he was a member of a shadows club at wetherby and doncaster and that most of the players there used these patches. i have asked for a refund of £50.00 so i can buy charlies genuine patches he refused this offering to give me a refund as he had another buyer for it. infringing on charlie halls copyright again. i was suprised to here that he reconds that loads of shadows members are using pirate copy`s of this. if thats true. we all know how hard charlie works at his craft surly he doesnt deserve to be cheated of his wages like this. i think i was cheated and so was charlie. am i wrong thinking this or is it all fair game stealing a copyright. am i wrong bring it up at all. i would like to here what you all think. 
? maybe i am. i think i may have let it get under the skin 
it happens now and then 
thats my kids opion anyway. look on the bright side suns shinning i`m in good health 
thats why i thought i would put it up here see what others thought. . peter
