[QUOTE="PiN WiZ, post: 7018, member: 31"] Sorry, I wasn't going to get involved in the argument going on at VPForums about FarSight's kickstarter project, but after seeing real pinball supporters like ourselves getting bashed on VPForums just for trying to get the pinball community to help support FarSight in their efforts to preserve classic pinball tables while paying dues to those who made it possible for the original tables to be produced in the first place, I had to give them a piece of my mind and here's a response I had to a ridiculous response to one of my prior posts. [B]My response[/B] : You're the one fooling yourself...the money FarSight needs for licensing will be going to CBS (who own the license to The Twilight Zone), the estate of Rod Serling, Golden Earring for using their song "Twilight Zone" and George Kooymans for writing the song "Twilight Zone." FarSight has also already paid licensing fees to Stern, Williams and Gottlieb, so don't sit there and tell me anyone involved with these licenses aren't going to get a penny because that's who all the licensing fees plus royalties from the tables sales are going to. I think you've been hanging around the VP/FP community a little too long. Also, VP and FP is good for creating tables that others may not have any other option of playing them, but now that pinball is somewhat rising from the grave in licensed digital form, the option is now there once again for everyone to support the license holders and I have no problem doing it and neither should anyone else in this community. The fact is, the majority of the people in the VP/FP community have been playing pinball tables for free for so long, that they've forgotten (or don't care anymore) about what's right and wrong and care nothing about supporting the people that made it possible for the original tables to be produced in the first place...but hey, whatever helps you sleep at night.
