Metal Sludge forum member is pur-SUE-ing Vinnie

Even after Vinnie claimed that the photos were amateurish and didn't represent the guitars properly,
he used the photos in his video catalog.
The guy who took them is pissed and may pursue action against Vinnie.

I think you should sue him. He seems to like lawsuits

I love how the most litigious she-male in the history of rock just went ahead and copyright infringed like it was no big deal.

You need to make like Johnny Cash and be a boy named "Sue".

He probably feels that it's his guitars so he can do whatever he wants with any images of them.

I demand a thank-you in the liner notes to his box set.

You're a total asskisser if you let him get away with that shit without at least threatening to pull his weave.

Re: Wow, Vinnie Vincent nicked my photo.
I think he assumes since he owns those guitars, he owns the pic of them too.

You're lucky he doesnt sue you to stop you from using the pix.

That was the creepiest booth I have ever seen at NAMM. With the old people, who I'm guessing were part of the company who makes the guitars...it was like something out of an incest-filled V.C. Andrews book.

I love the little boom box stuck in the corner of the table....how professional.

Anyone who's put's the money out to buy one of his models should have their head examined.

If memory serves me right, didn't Vinnie say in one of his past youtube rants that a 'fan' had taken video/photos and uploaded them, BUT these photos were substandard and didn't do the product justice????
Or something to that effect, and now he's used them in his video catalogue.....haha !

That is absolute piss poor form Mr Cusano!!!! I remember the slamming you gave that guy for no good reason, saying the pictures did not represent the true glory of your guitars. Then of course you came out with NOTHING of your own to represent them and now steal these same photos for your own use to sell overpriced guitars.

Looks like you may have to send one over to him as payment?

Brooklyn_Born · Post by **Brooklyn_Born** » Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:41 am

Absolutely!

erg2 · Post by **erg2** » Sat Aug 27, 2011 8:07 am

I was just saying in a different post that he is using swiped pics from his internet trolling to use for the images in his formal website. As a graphics professional I just can't fathom it.

i find sad that he-or somebody who was there, or trustworthy- didn't even take pics of his guitars.........
without sounding harsh, how difficult it is to tkae a digital camera and even shoot pics of them in your own property, on the grass, on the floor,instead of nicking somebody's else pics?

i'm sure everybody here wanted to have nothin but good words about the website, but,on such premieses, how could it be possible? Things like this make just things worse.........

Post by **Streetbeat** » Sat Aug 27, 2011 9:33 am

i thought the same, i thought , cool we'll see new pictures of the guitars , amazing
but we got the "bootleg" pictures reused and the GUITARMAGEDDON word covering the AZG brand
i'm not hating , i'm just telling the truth , some people doesn't know or like to deal with it
