Amen the only problem I could see with cs.org going down is the fact all of takeshis programs are also down :sleepy5: :sleepy5: :sleepy5:

Who care if this isnt cs. We all know, even vis that cs.org was the source of all mycoke scripting. They created the majority of mycoke filters & programs. Most of the programs/filters on this forum was made or produced on cs.org. So just cause its closed you dont have to say "fuck that site" cause you wasnt saying that when it was open were you? Also it is a fucking big wow since thyelite & cs.org are related topics. Lets not forget this is mycoke news and all mycoke scripting forums are related to mycoke so its not just a "talk about thyelite" topic.

Tp800 07-21-2006 12:51 PM

Cs.org was a great site but we still have thyelite im grateful for that alone.

Chaos 07-21-2006 02:16 PM

i hate that, coke just can't make enough money they have to sue someone...

or maybe they dont get money..... :]

Okay. Mycoke cannot sue! The reason behind this is because they left 'CokeStudios' Behind to make Mycoke... Once you leave something, you shouldnt be able to take it back. Mycoke.org should be sued. I bet the only reason they "Sued" Tom, is because he Produced all of these programs. He may have taken the name, but so what??? THEY LEFT THE NAME AND 1.0 FOR 2.0 AND MYCOKE!!!! They dont Own the name anymore!

Thats fucking bullshit!~

nick 07-23-2006 02:20 PM

Im not sure about that because Mycoke still has a Coke Studios. :confused: I am really not educated in this category though so i shouldnt be argueing with anyone.

Then where is Cokestudios.
Cokestudios is in the past.... Its G-O-N-E!

X0G 07-23-2006 06:04 PM

He still violated copyright issues. Such as the v-ego in the banner. and other violations.

Your right about this, and the rest of you ppl that are saying other bs about cs.org stop it you fuckinh leechers. ThyElite is also a great site and will grow big and I am sure of that, because I will help. But remember that cs.org was a great site and it will be.

About this sue shit I cant tell you if its true, for what I know its only a roumour and I hope it is. The deal was to get a new cs.org (alpha) but since I left for 2 weeks I didnt know shit after that.

MyCoke still owns Coke Studios though. Coke Studios is the main game of MyCoke.com, and you see the exact term "CokeStudios" all over the MyCoke site.

Takeshi made a big mistake registering his domain as a copyrighted term that he had no rights to what so ever. I wouldn't be suprised one bit if Coke sued him.

The same can go for MyCoke.org. They have no rights to the term MyCoke yet they named an entire website after it.

MyCoke never "left behind" Coke Studios. They left behind Coke Music, not Coke Studios.

Coke had every right to sue.

Masked 07-23-2006 08:40 PM

if he is getting sued for the name of his domain why doesnt he just change the domain to something else?

Copyright Infringement involves engaging in one of the practices that are exclusively reserved for a copyright owner or a violation of the rights secured by a copyright, without a license to do so.

The term Coke™ is trademarked. Also trademarked is Coke Studios™; coincidentally, V-Ego™ is also trademarked. Using these names or items in a fashion that is not per the owners request can result in a lawsuit; i.e. registering a domain with one of those terms.

Upon discovery of said infringement, Coca-Cola™ can choose one of two options. Provide proper licenses to allow the user continued use of said trademark, or sue the shit out of 'em. In this case, they chose the latter.

If CokeStudios.org got sued for Copyright Infringement, I think MyCoke.org should fucking get sued, isn't that copyright too? i dont get that

Brad 07-24-2006 12:04 AM

I think it's all fucking bullshit...they should drop everything and leave it alone

-SpEx 07-24-2006 02:29 AM

Yes Thyelite.com is growing fast there are alot of active users and we get like what 1 user like every day. Seems like it. If you actually look down at the bottom :p.

Brad 07-24-2006 03:24 AM

sometimes even more than one...

-SpEx 07-24-2006 03:46 AM

Yeah thats true.

riggsley 07-25-2006 11:39 PM

could coke sue even if you just have "coke" in your domain name?

if so, quite a few people could get screwed... or maybe not. maybe this case is just an excuse for mycoke to take down a huge anoyance. cs was great... it sucks that it's gone. but i'm sure we will make do. :toothy2:

Yeah. We got shut down by Coke.
I didn't get sued, but that was out of sheer luck that i'm a minor (1 more year and I would've lost all my worldly possesions).

Basically, I got a letter from Coke's solicitors, telling us that we must shut down the site immediately (due to trademark infringement), I have to pay the solicitors' fees (this is not a cheap solicitor, I tell thee), and that Coke will be seeking damages "for damaging it's reputation".

The latter, is not happening, but i've had to shut down the site, and am going to have to scrape up several ££££ (yes, 4 digits), for the solicitors.

I was given no warning, contrary to popular belief. And yes, my parents did fucking freak... wouldn't yours? No. I don't get grounded... and I sure as shit don't get sent to boot camp (like some people I know... *cough*Chris*cough*).

For the above reasons, I will not be participating in MyCoke-related stuff anymore, I've chosen to basically remove myself from the scene... just posting this here, 'cause I think you all have the right to know.

Sorry people,
// Tom/Takeshi.

(and yes, this is the real me).

Bastards... However, we all knew Coke was going to do something sonner or later. By the way, 7.000 Euros is 8,856.42 USD. That's about $8,800 USD more than I have ever had!

On a side note, Chris, you went to bootcamp?! HAHA! That sucks man. LOL, From what I hear Boot Camp is as hard as our Army BCT which is considered hell.

Anyway, I guess all good things do come to an end. Take care Tom!

Matt_Hardy 07-26-2006 11:45 AM

Nice to hear of you tom but before you leave do you got the idol layout filter m8 as i need that shit bad bad bad

No... £7,000 GBP would be $12,967.32 USD... so thats like $12,900 more than you've ever had.

:P Thanks to rub it in Tom. By the way, PM me your MSN address... assuming your not using your old cs.org one.

Vis 07-26-2006 04:09 PM

Hmm.. I've recieved a couple letters from coke, they've never taken action though. They were very vague on what exactly I was doing wrong.

Also, how did they find your address, Tom?

DefectiveProduct 07-26-2006 04:11 PM

Hmm.

Well Tom, before you leave the Coke scene, would you do us the favor of removing your cs.org auth from all of the programs you made with it?

Maybe to prove that it really is you. Not that I don't believe its really you, but just to confirm it cosidering anybody can just register at a forum and claim to be someone.

Vis 07-26-2006 04:14 PM

That reminds me, Tom, how did your auth work? Did you have it skew the IP into a number, and then add a 0 when logged in? I tried creating one, but I wasn't successful. Get on gmail messenger or aim one day, I want to talk to you..

Orfeo 07-26-2006 08:08 PM

Good luck Tom, hopefully you will be active. Not making programs or filters for coke but just talking and chilling. Also if you have time add me to aim (shad0w0rfeo) or msn (mario.aguire.c@gmail.com) so we can talk.

Thanks for everything man.

Tom 07-27-2006 09:55 AM

Added you both to MSN. I don't really use AIM anymore.

Meh, they *all* need updating... I might talk with Chris about some stuff... I don't think i'll be personally releasing anything new, but I may aswell share the knowledge.

Digitalicious 07-27-2006 11:17 AM

Ouch...Well, it was a good run Tom. You've done things for the Coke Studios cheating scene like no one else could. Maybe you could ask coke to at least give you a t-shirt.

How many times do we have to tell you? So what if it says that. They don't need to put on the site all their copyrights. www.copyright.gov. Look it up. It's copyrighted.

lol, saying something is copyrighted on a page doesn't really make it copyrighted. Using something not in the copyright office will be laughed out of court.
