have to agree with BBDV on this one. While SDS helmets were awesome, it was dumb to just try to sidestep the whole licensing issue.... Even if he DID design the helmet (which he didn't, he just MANUFACTURED them), it doesn't mean he owns the design. he was employed by the owner to make them FOR the owner.... My sister works in advertising as an artist & she designs stuff for clients all the time. Even though she designs it, it's not hers. it is owned by the person who paid the comission to have it designed...

Oh, BBDV, what are some of the differences of the SDS helmet vs screen used ones? I remember the SDS helmets being advertised as pulled from the original molds. I'm not surprised if they weren't, as many things have been advertised as such only to wind up being true "from a certain point of view".....
