THIS.

THIRDED!

I might have to wear a IIIA vest to TL because it is starting to sound like it might end up like what happened if you wore red or blue clothes at screenings of Colors.

That was sarcasm by the way.

I'm just gonna roll my eyes and sigh at the ridiculousness and obnoxiousness of this thread and the certain things certain people continually bring up in it even though common sense would say "hey, maybe you outta stop with that", and never open it (this thread) again. order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Uh, no, they aren't. If the prop isn't generating extra money, and actually cost them money to have made, then it isn't an asset, it's a liability.

and I have a good suspicion that it is not sanctioned by Disney because if it were I would think Disney would put out in a press release that they were allowing said band the use of TRON Legacy imagery for their own agrandizement.

Did Disney ever send out a press release about Tron being used by The Strokes? Family Guy? South Park? American Dad?

That is your speculation based on your bias for BEP.

OK, now you're really making leaps of logic. I don't have any bias toward them...in fact, if anything, I'm biased AGAINST them. Personally, their music makes me want to throw things at my TV and/or radio to make the pain go away. I just know significantly more about the entertainment and production industries than you do. You, on the other hand, are spazzing out as if you created the property and it belongs to you. Guess what? IT DOESN'T. And instead of being content with the fact that a property you supposedly love is getting the mainstream attention it always deserved, you dig deep for a reason -- a completely unfounded reason -- to bitch.

THe fact that they have it in there and there is no press from Disney saying they support it leads one to believe that it is not a kosher business deal.

Or -- more likely -- they just don't give a crap, because they realize it's an homage to the movie's production design and will likely get more publicity for the movie.

A one and only item is worth more than a postering fanboy riding on an icon he and his bandmates didn't even rightly get license for.

OK, of all the message boards you could post this on, you post it here. A site full of people who make their own costumes, props, figures, posters, art, fanfic & God only knows what else. And they're using those creations to get recognition for their creative skills and modeling/crafting ability. And has anyone in this forum paid for any kind of licensing fee for the use of Tron, its characters, its vehicles, its costumes? So should Disney shut us down then?

Fun fact, Iso: Tron does not belong to you, or any other one person. It was created by Steve Lisberger, it's owned by Disney, but it belongs to the entire world. And just because YOU don't like how someone pays tribute to it doesn't mean they're wrong.

Seriously, it's people like you who give fandom a bad reputation.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion
