Why dont we just go knock on his door and ask him to politely stop profiting off of other people's work:

He knows exactly what he's doing, and knows people know exactly what he's doing (except those that allow themselves to get ripped off, of course). This will solve nothing. His profits need to plummet (which I hope they do) and/or he needs to be threatened with legal action.

That's DT Linder's site, not Kaldenberg's.


DT also purchased the domain ncaarosters.com, which redirects to earosters.com

I didn't know he moved to Coralville; I thought he was in St. Louis.

I could go there right now

Profiting or not EARosters is a trademark infringement and at some point he will be made to turn that site over to EA.

That just shows how little he knows about the law. That defense has been tried before and courts never find in favor of it. The reason is quite simple, when consumers hear EA in relation to college football they identify it with EA Sports, not Extremely Accurate. That won't hold water worth a damn if this ever sees the court of law.

For the average Jane or Joe they will google search for NCAA 09 rosters this summer and will stumble across one of Brian's three websites. Because of the professional appearance they may purchase a memory card from him or download the rosters from his website. The $10 cost to download the rosters or mail-in a memory card will make the transaction seem legit.

FK, maybe im late, but this guy is charging for the basic DOWNLOAD of the roster format files? which would require a memory unit and the xchange usb kit of your own, right? Thats a huge step and quite risky.

for the longest time there was a thin line regarding that even for the ones doing it for the "money". You ask for donations, and the process of buying a memory card (which is bought for $15 bucks) is then sold with rosters, for $25-30. That was the extent of it. you then had your ebay sellers, selling those memory cards for a profit of $8-12 bucks a sale. That was it though. This dude is playing with fire right near the gas station pumps. noone from my memory has done such a thing to charge openly. even the guys living off those donations, the mail in your memory card part was 100% donation based.

Crazy how its turned into a successful business model for him.

I take this sort of story like a man whos selling tap water to the elderly, only that its labeled as purified spring water. They dont know any better. its not that the consumers are dumb. its an education process. the majority would call us bitter that hes making the money and were not. sad reality
