Re: [newmellotrongroup] What's in a name?

My 2 cents worth.
If John and Martin didn’t make it, I’m not buying it.
I have a Mellotron, and have an M4000 ordered.
It’s name has changed, but the “real” people are building it for me.
I don’t give a shit about the Swedish stuff, period!
Get it?

So, let me get this straight:

Markus is making a machine that technically isn't a Mellotron, but he's allowed to use the name.
Streetly are making a machine that technically is a Mellotron, but aren't.

Somewhere in there lies the idiocy of patent law.
