  • GoPro Declares War
    Our friends at GoScope (A small company who makes GoPro and camera accessories) were recently told by GoPro to change their name and all their product molds, due to the embedded name brand, or they would be taken to court. GoScope cannot afford the legal fees to even begin the legal process nor cannot afford to change their branding along with their molds. All of this would put them out of business. It is not right for large corporations to go after small businesses.
    Help us in the fight for the Under Dogs!
    *If you know any way to contact GoPro or to reach their CEO Nick Woodman and let them know about this, it would help out GoScope a lot!
    Thank you for all of your support! :)
    Here's Go-Scopes website for all those that have asked:

    Devin, this is amazing. Can't thank you enough for spreading the word on this!!! Thank you for everyone's comments! All of you are truly amazing. Can't thank you enough for your support! We will be sure to keep you all updated on the continued battle we have with GoPro and their legal team. Truly thank you for your support. -Kyle, Lindsey, and Danny

      Kyle - First thing, Sorry to hear about all this.. Hope it works out for you guys. Just a side note. Your Wordpress plugins are acting up at the moment. It looks like the visual composer one. For a small team like yours, You should look into Shopify. So reliable and easy to use. If you ever need a hand, just give me a shout

    This is sad. GoPro is steadily losing market share because they refuse to lower their prices in the face of ever increasing competition and market saturation. And stepping on the little guys isn't the way to make themselves look better.

    • @AKATEATime

      For targeting hipsters, you have to overprice it to make it cool. They know it well. There are already great action cams with good quality and better features at lower price. Why people are not buying those then? It's because of that gopro hipster cult.

    This is ridiculous, it would be like Apple suing OtterBox or other case companies because they make cases for their phones...GoPro can't kill off companies that make accessories for their products, solely so they can monopolize on the accessories market, that's what it looks like they are trying to do.

    • @TheSeanBampton

      11thWarrior meh, "Go" isn't the same as, "GoPro." I could see somewhat of an argument if they called it the, "GoPro Scope" but since it's only, "Go Scope" I say take them to court and counter when GoPro loses! Haha

    • @zmojofoot76
      @zmojofoot76 7 років тому +7

    • @Yates__
      @Yates__ 7 років тому +3

      The name Otterbox is nothing like Apple. You're missing the point. It's the name that is the basis of the complaint... Google 'Tsubo tsubi', a US show company sued and Australian jeans company for having a similar name... Hell, even pornstar 'Katsumi' was forced to change her name to 'Katsuni', so there is plenty of precedent for this sort of thing and GoPro will likely win in court.

    • @venkyisliving
      @venkyisliving 7 років тому

      RYSE yeah bro, the exact reason why I have a go pro. .. anything else, I had hard time finding d accessories ...
      eg. Tom Tom Bandit gives a go pro mount adapter . just to be compatible with accessories like goscope ....
      @goscope - I m sure Nick deal with will those Money hungry #$@'*- , so called partners

    • @anniew.4467
      @anniew.4467 7 років тому +2

      This is the reason why many of my friends bought a GoPro and I was considering it as well. Maybe they really don't know what they are doing to themselves with this?

    • @visioneer32
      @visioneer32 7 років тому +6

      I hear so many people saying that go pro have more accessories than their competitor, (SONY), I have 5 Sony Action cams an if anyone has ever brought a Sony Action Cam they would know that Sony includes a small Sony to GoPro adaptor, So I know that Sony Action Cams will fit onto all GoPro accessories and all Sony accessories, can GoPro fit onto Sony accessories?....I think not..Just a thought, and if you haven't already seen the Sony FDR-X3000, it is very much worth a look, It has optical stabilisation, Superb...I am not a Sony fanboy I will always use what works for me...here is one more thought..the sensors in GoPros are Sony sensors....Just sayin.

  • @AlwiArtwork
    @AlwiArtwork 7 років тому +131

    Exactly what happen to us.
    The different is, we are just community user. Not a company.
    Back in 2014, we created this community for gopro user here in Indonesia named GOPROID.
    passing the 1st year, we become the largest Gopro user community in Indonesia.
    And suddenly, our instagram account deleted by instagram without any warning.
    Same thing happen to other Instagram accounts that using Gopro word or part of it as their username.
    We've tried to contact the gopro and instagram. No luck.
    After searching the Internet and contacting others who might concern, we found out the reason our account being shut down was because Gopro have patented the word "Gopro" and "Hero" trademark.
    By that, they ask Instagram to deleted our account.
    Thats just it, our community, our hard work, our trust as user to the brand we use, were deleted.
    We feel betrayed by the one who suppose to be supporting us.
    Don't they realize that we voluntarily endorse their brand?.
    But we can't abandon our community, because people inside it are our friends, our family.
    So we rename our community into GPROID until now.
    But the scars remain.
    Our community keeps running, without any contact or any support from the Gopro.
    I think it's time to let people in Gopro know, what they did was wrong.
    You can't stand alone.
    You need support.
    You need others.
    We are not a competitor.
    We should support each other, not killing each other.
    Thank You Devin for this video. :)

    If its not fair for large companys to go after small companys, then why is it ok for small companys to infringe on large companys patents/copyrights

    • @devingraham
      @devingraham  7 років тому +24

      I agree 100 percent, if not more :) GoScope had their copyright claimed in 2011, and GoPro had the chance to appeal it, and did nothing with it. GoScope did exactly what so many other companies do, make accessories for other companies, that within itself is not a crime, however GoPro is attacking GoScope, and so many others who make accessories for GoPro. This is why I'm not okay with the situation. If GoScope was making a camera similar to GoPro, then yes, it would be an infringe on the company.

    • @chenzeeto419
      @chenzeeto419 7 років тому +3

      Apple is kinda ignoring everyone to make iPhone cases, they only care about the third-party products sold in the Apple Store...... but I have to say, GoPro might be thinking about going after evey company who make GoPro accessories, GoScope might be just the first one on GoPro's' attacking list.

    • @nzRCreviews
      @nzRCreviews 7 років тому

      I completely understand your view then, The methods GoPro is taking are obviously extreme and unfair based on the company position but a huge portion of there income comes from there accessories so i assume they are just trying to protect there business model. Hopefully with the awarness raised possibly GoPro can assist GoScope in fixing the issues seeing as GoScope would also be bringing GoPro more business in the long run by creating a more usefull accessory for the OEM GoPro Camera

    • @jfbeam
      @jfbeam 7 років тому +5

      This is an issue of trademark -- the use of "Go" in GoPro accessories. By doing so, GoScope is piggybacking on the marketing and image of GoPro. (however minimal that may be) You might not like it, but that's the way it works. (in fact, they _must_ go after people infringing their marks, or they will lose that mark.)

    • @CharlieBates47
      @CharlieBates47 7 років тому +2

      I find this whole “issue” terriably naive. GoScope should just change their name. “GoPro had 6 months to strike down GoScope …” No, they have forever, which is being illustrated now. Im sure GoPro had more important issues going on in 2011 than to even discuss, much less respond to the GoScope noise. Anology: Brad Pitt is out having dinner. A fan runs up and says “I love you and I’m starting a clothing company called Brad Pitt Fasions". Pitt gives an awkward smile and says “cool”, and goes back to eatting. Did he give permission? No, there is a lot of noise in life and it should be ignored until it stops being noise and becomes a signal. Compliments to GoScope, they have arrived. Now, modify the name.

    The reason GoPro is doing this is because their stock is in the gutter and GoPro is most likely going to start making these accessories as a way to boost revenue ... GoPro had to recall the karma drones and sales on the hero5 were much lower than expected.

One of the hardest things to do is to get people to believe in your dream, but it can be one of the most impactful ways to support a small company. It is refreshing to see someone selflessly defend what they believe in even if it causes GoPro to hate you. It is even more amazing that, with the reach that your channel has, you are willing to stick up for the small guys. From all of us that are just trying to make it, thank you.

      Devin; way-ta-go! As a filmmaker I support your decision to speak out about this issue, considering we (as film gear consumers) are at the mercy of primary manufactures to supply usable products -- which they don’t often enough do. As far as dealing with this conflict, any conflict? Dude, look at my Channel Description (DogmaticFilm.com); sometimes we MUST walk smack into the middle of a dog fight, especially one that matters. You’ve NOTHING to feel poorly about! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. ~Mark

      Same here. There's a little bit of irony that I bought a GoPro because of the huge selection of accessories made by 3rd parties. If my only option was to buy all the attachments from GoPro, I might not have purchased the camera in the first place. Companies like GoScope are the reason I bought a GoPro.

    This is ridiculous - if Goscope had doen something like design their logo to be confusion it would be one thing. I would never confuse Goscope with GoPro themselves. Companies have to protect the IP, Brand and trademarks but this seems ridiculous and now seems like GoPro having declining revenues is going after companies selling accessories. This is signal of a company in desperation mode and I think there is a strong possibility that GoPro in a year will not be the company we have seen in the past.

If that's really the case, as Devin describes it - then it's really time to MAGA. I wonder if GoScope voted Trump, LOL:D

    • @roshi98

    @overclockgaming6995 7 років тому +3

    The thing is that these companies are making camera accessories not necessarily just for the GoPro, they're making them for all action cameras and other cameras. It's like saying Sony want all other companies to stop selling lenses for their cameras that aren't made by Sony or Apple stopping other companies from selling phone cases for their phones that aren't made by apple. GoPro are honestly just giving themselves a bad name doing this.

      Konor Sacks i have garmin's gps. But for camera i was thinking about either buy a sony action cam or just keep using my gopro 3+ black that i bought a few yrs back. And yes i will return the gopro 5, cuz gopro pushed a new firmware update which makes all non-gopro brand batteries stop working. Gopro batteries are too expensive, i don't want to spend $100 just to buy batteries.

      @KonorSacks 7 років тому

      before you do I would look at the virb, here are a few points from my memory... same quality video, talk to it, gps and accelerometer data that you can overlay on your video, they say great sound with a case, battery life can take a hit, costs the same as the hero 5, controllable from I think any garmin device, separate video and photo button, quick power on to instant recording then power of after you finish, take photos while recording, connects to accessories using ant+ and all the "extra data" can be overlyed on the video in editing using garmin editor, ant I think I am forgetting a few. so it is a cool camera.

    Hey man your an amazing person for making this video and trying to help out small businesses. This is just heartbreaking that GoPro would try to shut down a small business that makes no impact on GoPro revenue. All this is going to do is limit the use of GoPro cameras, i have found off brand accessories that work better for me then the main brand. Sometimes the main brand accessories are just so expensive for people to afford when they are starting out a business. While watching this video, I put myself in GoScopes shoes for a moment. This would be like you telling me that i cant watch your videos to learn tips and tricks and that would be heartbreaking because I watch your videos over and over again to see how to make the best use of your equipment. I just hope that GoPro gets this message and stops the legal action on GoScope.
