More Info at:

This petition is opposing Smart Parts' actions. They are trying to take over the paintball business. Us ,the players, will be directly affected, any gun with an electronic switch is, according to smart parts, in violation of their patent. If SP continues their action they will be able to charge 50-75 dollars for every unit sold. That means prices go up. We don't want this. This will also directly affect the development of our sport. Many companies could have patented great,paintball-related products and ideas, but they didn't. We need to show SP that we care about our sport and that they should too. Sign this , and send a message to them. This is not meant to bad mouth smart parts, it is meant to show them what we think.

- Smart Parts needs to see that this is a sport, and start treating it as one. Dont become Microsoft, help the community instead of making it harder.

- SP is just trying to figure out a way to make more money, not realizing that this will hurt the whole paintball industry, affecting every player and company! SP is very greedy!

- Not only does Smart Parts have to gall to believe they should have the rights on all eletronic guns, but they have sued others over items they wished they had designed by using their existing patents. Smart Parts needs to be sued over Monopoly laws and harassment on the part of businesses. Down with Smart Parts and their strongarm tactics.

- SP Should be happy with the millions they have, screwing over other companies and, in the process, hindering the growth of the sport is not what paintball's about.

- Paintball is already an expensive sport. Don't make it even more difficult for new , young, promising players to buy high quality markers!!! It won't serve the sport any good, and will stop the sport from expanding at the very fast rate it is at the moment. Hope SP realise they are making themselves the badguys of the industry...
