The first time I read your nick, I thought it was MaximumRecoil. I think everybody should call you MaximumRecoil, because for one it sounds good, and secondly, for the sake of continuity. I got it wrong the first time, but it's too difficult to get it right now because I'm lazy and don't want to make the effort to change.
You aren't particularly good with analogies. My suggestion is that you stop using them. This is the second or third of your invalid analogies that I have seen so far.
Now, I will explain what is wrong with your analogy. Where does the error lie? In your analogy, the error lies solely with you, possibly because of poor reading skills or dyslexia. In such a case, possibly there would be a few others who share your disability, but in general, literate people would not make the error. The name is spelled out and by default, "Maximum" does not = "Maxim" and that can be objectively established.
In the case of TR47, there was no reading error. "TR47" = "TR47". They were called that
on purpose for a legitimate reason; after the person who distributed them; because the person who did the transfer was not known. TR47 never claimed to have done the transfer, so anyone assuming that he had done the transfer was doing just that;
assuming. In fact, when the TR47 set was becoming openly known to this forum, just as the ban on discussing bootlegs of the OT was being lifted, he specifically mentioned the "creator of the set" as being someone other than himself. That was over a year ago:

Yes, that's a good description of what it is. To be honest I'm not terribly knowledgeable about it, I am only going off of the info I was given by the creator of the set I have. He may have said as much earlier than that, judging from the way that no one seemed too shocked at the "revelation" after that particular post.
Also, Cowclops himself has indicated in a post that he has no problems with the name "TR47" being associated with the set; in fact, he suggested as much:

Just as long as it doesn't use "CC." I hate it when people call me CC because "Cowclops" is all one word.
How about you call the original set the TR47 set for consistency reasons and the second set "The Cowclops Set" and somewhere on the case put *Sponsered by TR47*.
And it is not as if "TR47" deserves no credit:

I'm the guy that made BOTH versions. TR47 is just the one who sold a crapload of my first set. He was in fact one of the last people on ebay to buy it from me, so ironically the old set will probably be continued to be called the "TR47" set but he only has anything to do with the newer set.
He bought a CLD-97 so I could re capture it with much better picture quality. At this point I am no longer worried about being given credit for doing anything other than getting this version into people's hands.
. I hope this clears this topic up once and for all. Please direct any technical questions directly to Cowclops; I will chime in when a response is warranted. Screen shots should be posted shortly-I will let Cowclops handle that as he has the equipment and software to do so far better than I can.
