Day 2...November 24th...
Ski2Live Live2Ski replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Started driving a 73 cop package LTD that got about 6mpg but the big old hunk of iron saved my life 2x as I was a classic male teen "driver" -
No, because they operating a business generating millions of annual revenue competing with other such businesses, and because most people would believe photos of a ski area on a ski area web page were shot at the ski area. It is more like if I had photoshopped a stock photo of Paul McCartney holding a bass onto my album cover.

We do sometimes play Beatles covers and 3.5 years ago played an all Beatles set, but I am not sure what sort of claim you are getting at. You think actual Beatles cover bands would claim they lost income because by posting a pic of ourselves in those shirts we were seeking to fool folks into believing that we were also a Beatles cover band? Also not sure what sort of claim anyone could have for thinking we were selling T Shirts we were not selling. But if anyone feels they have been damaged by my practices, we can enter settlement discussions and, if those fail to provide mutual satisfaction, work it out in court.

It was a benefit concert, I suppose they could seek to take the money back from the disabled kids that got to go to summer camp for free.

The damages in a false advertising case are suffered by competitors. Camelback would argue they lost X million skier visits because folks thought that is what Blue looked like.

No I did not use them in advertisements. If they were up at BeaglesBand.com, and if The Beatles had a good argument that we had unjustly profited by tricking folks into believing we were the Beatles and buying our CD when they meant to purchase Abbey Rd, you would have a point. Honestly though, if The Beatles were to sue me, I would gladly give them all the profits I made from wearing that shirt and would welcome the publicity.

Those are shirts that someone else designed and was selling on the Web that we purchased and wore exactly once - not something we made. Here is the shirt I designed and sell.

If you dont want Blue to get sued the better move would be to let their marketing folks know they should pull down pix that constitute false advertising. My commenting on an existing thread is not what will get them sued.

If a venue hires a band to play cover songs, they get licenses from ASCAP, BMI and SESAC to cover that use. If a venue prefers not to get such licenses we are glad to perform all original material.

I am giving them a break. I am not bringing it to the attention of the FTC

That is not a defense to a false advertising claim. I hope they get sued.

It is ridiculous and deceptive to use a photo from a different ski area on their site. It may well be legally actionable as well but blue may be too small potatoes for anyone to care enough to sue.

Opening day thread 11/23/18
Ski2Live Live2Ski replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Upper Main St and x-ing taught the girls the term "cookies" - otherwise quite nice. No wait at all to board chairs yet. Enjoying our cocoa now. Gotta love day that starts with skiing and ends with a televised performance at www.cafeimprov.com (broadcast Mon eve). -

Opening Weekend Roll Call thread 11/23-25
Ski2Live Live2Ski replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Saturday AM with kids -
Looks like I will hold off and go Sat in light of this info
-
There is some snow at least on Vista Cam
-
Mt Cams show no sign they are trying to get Main St open
-
Yeah would plan for a few runs at opening. You think crowds will arrive that early on BF?
-
I'd go for just Vista chair for 1 day with kids Friday given we have passes there and it is closest place, especially as we will be even a bit closer as at my parents' in Jenkintown for Turkey. Vista chair's elevation of 270 is way more than Freedom, and actually is about 70% of what BB is TTB (under 400').

Opening Day - Snovember 16th, 2018
Ski2Live Live2Ski replied to toast21602's topic in Jack Frost & Big Boulder
Yeah, Love would be TTB and would likely take that over upper Montage. Shawnee is saying they will be TTB Friday, might take that over either. Also waiting to see what CB offers and would not rule out Belleayre or Hunter. Of course if Blue opens this weekend we will be there. -

Ski2Live Live2Ski replied to toast21602's topic in Jack Frost & Big Boulder
If Boulder has TTB I would take it over Montage top half, given it would save me about 70-80 minutes RT drive. -
Would make good sense to me as even TTB Bpulder is full and the only interest it holds for me is being open when nothing else is
-
What PA options do folks think we will have next weekend? I am guessing Shawnee, Camelback, Boulder. Blue does not seem to even be trying
