Marzocchi US. Mad about 2005 fork pictures.

Found this here:
http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/sho...threadid=79132

Apparently someone posted 2005 Marzocchi product pics? Well you better cut it out, cuz look at this email I got:

To whom it may concern,

You have posted unauthorized pictures of my 2005 product line._ The pictures were taken in Taiwan, at my booth last week. _I assume you realize that they are pictures of my 2005 line and I think you realize that releasing this information too early is a disservice to Marzocchi and your subscribers. _Since specifications and product lines do change disseminating incorrect information is absolutely wrong and I will pursue any and all legal procedures I can do make sure you will not perform this unprofessional act of stupidity again.

Sincerely,
Bryson Martin
VP Marzocchi USA






I find this pretty funny. They are at an overseas tradeshow, showing people the forks. But for some reason, people were not allowed to see pictures of them? 'Legal Action' man, thats great Sounds like a genius in the email.

legally, if they didn't want any pictures taken, wouldn't they have to post a sign at the booth saying that they are not allowed? am i correct?

My thought too. Does not sound at all like a letter a VP would send out. That type of letter would have went through their legal department, for starters. Also, the tone of the e-mail is very harsh.

If the author of the e-mail is the VP of Marzocchi USA, he'll get chastized for doing that.

I think it is.

its on the front page of ridemonkey.com I dont see why they would make it up. Another marzocchi co-worker (possibally the VP himself I think) replies in the thread, im fairly certain its real.

The other guy is the Technical Director for Marzocchi, and sounds more like a high level manager in his posts than the original e-mail.
