Taunts? More like following protocol someone else is trying to illegally exploit

[–] fubbernuckin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, he does pretty explicitly taunt them.

if you think you can do better than Apple, Google, Cisco, IBM, John Deere, and the entire medical industry, well, be my guest. You can try but I don't think it's going to end very well for you. And here's a message I have for Bambu Labs, if you so much as send me a postcard, here's what I'm going to do to you. Number one, I'm going to hire the best lawyers to destroy your entire section 121 claim. We will make you look so bad that this will be part of the precedent that we use for reforming this law in the United States of America. Number two, AGPL violations...

Whatever amount of money you cost me, I will ensure that I cost you a minimum of 5 to 20 times that in legal fees. I am that confident in the fact that your case is garbage. So do your best. Try to take down my github repo. Send me a cease and desist. I look forward to your notice.

if the legal team at Bambu Lab is watching this, make my day. I'll have fun with this one.

Rossmann is just posturing for his fans.

He ain't got the kind of money it takes for this kind of fight. Prusa looked into to filing a possible court case. And they decided this is a fight they can't afford and can't win. Because it's not only Bambu's lawyers, but the Chinese government's money they have. And remember, the Chinese government holds a stake in Bambu. And Prusa can afford a lot better lawyers than Rossmann can.

No Prusa decided not to pursue it because it’s software related and very hard to enforce. They can spend the money and nothing will change.

Even if he doesn't have the money for court, the noise generated by all this might drive customers away?

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It might. But I don't think there has been much of a cooling for Bambu's market share. There are plenty of fanbois and their marketing IS effective for first time buyers.

I mean, he did also literally taunt them.
