Cam Guys Blog – Get to know our cam guys

I’ve eluded to this before and now that I have the photos I figured I’d let the cat out of the bag. Tyler W is going to make a come back on CamWithHim! Here’s a couple recent shots of him. More provacative pics are updated inside of the members area…

He should be joining us again later this week

If you came here looking for camguys.net, please be patient. We’re going to move hosts once again shortly (probably to a foreign one this time). We may have to keep it up until we can invalidate a trademark by Z Productions, Inc. They keep threatening to sue my hosts because camguys.net exists and because they registered the trademark “the cam guys”, I’m apparently not allowed to use the camguys.net domain. Now, if you’ve been following our site since 2002, you would know that we used the term “cam guys” since the start of guyswithcams.com. See some examples below:

http://web.archive.org/web/20030216155629/http://www.guyswithcams.com/
http://web.archive.org/web/20040519031339/http://guyswithcams.com/

Or see the whole list here: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://guyswithcams.com

The term “cam guys” is on almost every single page on guyswithcams.com.

As you can see, we’ve been using the term “cam guys” since 2002. I remember talking with someone from strengthnet.com who said Z Productions, Inc. copied a lot of things they did back in 2004. Boy was he right. When Chris Wescott and Mike Downs (owners of Z Productions, Inc.) saw guyswithcams.com thriving, they found what software we used, decided to copy it as well as our concept and called it thecamguys.com. Now they’re trying to say I’m not allowed to use the word “cam guys” even though 1) I’ve been using the term long before they have 2) It’s a very broad term 3) There is no “The” in the names I’m using and 4) I’m in no way, shape, or form leading people on to think it is their product.

To say that the term “cam guys” is a trademark is quite ridiculous. It’s like saying you can copyright any common phrase and no one else can use it. Do Chris and Mike really own the internet?

edit: I also wanted to add that I was very unsatisfied with how RackSpace, my hosting provider for camguys.net, handled this situation. I used to have a lot of respect for them back when I hosted with them in the past but they just lost it all. I just wanted to throw that out there since I feel that I was wronged by them.

So I got a new 3D camera like the ones they use in the movies like Avatar and decided to play around with it and take some test shots. Check out me acting goofy in my messy office…

Pretty cool eh?
