Perhaps Toys R Us would have something to say about it, seeing as they appear to have just stolen their branding :rolleyes:

Here is a reply I got from them .............................

"My apologise Cliff........
I am a fan of UK vapers and all it stands for.
The 'Testimonials' page along with 'Petition' page is my way of helping our fight against any legislations which may be enforced on us. All the information I have listed is not intended to promote my business but to put our case forward. I am an ex smoker of 45yrs plus and want to promote the whole ecig to as many smokers as possible. This is purely from a personal point of view and not business.
I have taken on board your complaint and have removed all quotes- instead I will just put a link which I hope will encourage others to join UK vapers.
Again my apologise.......

Kindest regards

Well, your complaint has apparently helped. I just checked, and their "testimonials" page now only contains a link to this forum, preceded by a somewhat cheesy text. It doesn't improve the overall look of the site, nor the fact that the creators mix British and American expressions without even blushing on a site with a UK address (but they probably don't know the difference), but at least it shows that they are willing to listen...

And it still doesn't address the fact that they've used toys-r-us logo for their site.

We really shouldn't be encouraging a link between children and e-cigs. To me that was by far the greater crime.

crime is a harsh word, but i agree that is the issue with the site. frankly i dont buy for a moment they were doing anything that could be regarded as illegal with the quotes., just my opinion.

I dont think its even such a terrible idea to have a testimonial thread that is allowed to be used to promote vaping for the over 18s smokers. The more people that vape, the less likely they can bring in draconian legislation...there is a critical mass somewhere

Do not mind being quoted, just polite to ask first, otherwise could find your being quoted on all types of unsavoury sites (like ECF lol).

Hi all, just joined here but been on ECF for a while.

I found words to this effect on another site who were debating copyright issues on forum's I'm not sure how true any of this is. I'm just as ignorant as the next guy when it comes down to actually reading things unless its of a serious nature, but has anyone read UK Vapers T&C's?

I agree that vaping should be referenced correctly and uphold the responsible views and actions of this forum's members. The last thing our pursuit needs is bad press through immature and inaccurate use of information.:talktohand:


(nothing directly quoted, but context is accurate) - You (the forum owner etc) are legally responsible for all copyright infringements on your board. If anyone complains and their complaint is justified then you have a legal obligation to do something to remedy the situation. Who ever took the photo/writes the comment owns the copyright (unless it was work for hire, or some other stipulated contract). A true infringement can only be upheld by a direct infringement of the forum's T&C's.

example (not directly quoted), Facebook reserve the right to use any of your information/pic's/comments for advertising etc, basically anything you enter into the site is to some degree now their property.

If the person running the site reads here (which he must obviously do to harvest comments) be polite open a thread asking if we would mind, i certainly do not, its just polite to ask, if your reading this please start thread introducing yourself and ask....sure most would not mind
