Hi, my name is Kevin and before you click respond and send me a mass email explaining the situation again, let me say that I completely understand where you're coming from with the L1P issue. You own the rights of the Warren trademark, and Level 1 has absolutely no right to use Warren as a promotional ploy to sell more copies of the movie "Refresh". That being said, I, as well as a majority of freeskiers feel that taking the small fan/core-based company Level 1 to court is unreasonable. Most of us who ordered the movie, pre-ordered it several weeks ago, well before we learned of Warren's narration. This is Level 1's 10th ski movie and personally the 7th movie I have bought from them. I will continue to purchase their movies, and not because of narration or even music, but for the level of skiing. With the talent that the film-makers at Level 1 have they could easily move on to produce movies in other fields and markets, and earn substantially greater profits. But they choose to remain grounded to the small freeskiing scene. These guys aren't making movies for profits, they're making movies because they love skiing just as much as you and I. So before you become concerned that Level 1 is using your trademark for financial gains, think about the audience they serve. No one is buying "Refresh" to hear Warren's voice, we all would have bought it regardless, as will we continue to buy Level 1's newest release's year after year. Hearing Warren's narrations may be a nice perk, but for a lot of us younger skiers it doesn't mean a whole lot. However let's not look at it negatively, it could spark our curiosity to learn more about WME and check out your newest films. Anyways I hope everything gets straightened out because I was really looking forward to getting my movie in the mail next week, and I pray that a lengthy court battle doesn't delay me seeing it for months. After all its still all about the skiing, right?
Sincerely,
Kevin
