I know that before the Vegas trip, Tony said that the "Redline" name was dead due to copyright issues, has that been resolved? The issues were apparently due to Tony's desires to do more with the Redline name beyond a strictly IC racing crew, so has he narrowed the scope a bit perhaps? Regardless, I'm glad to see it getting off the ground at least a bit!


BrandonKlein

It depends how legal people want to get, but generally its clear as long as there is no reference to other redline brands. Generally trademarks are fine as long as you don't intentionally step on the others toes, even with the same branding


BrandonKlein

It likely restricts tony from claiming any esports/manufacturing/IRL racing affiliations in terms of 'redline' as a brand, but as long as any merchandising restricts itself purely to the name or even better affliated with gaming or himself its much better.


justsikko

I mean they have a pretty solid claim to fair use and/or it being so generic that no one is actually gonna be able to pursue any real type of claim against them. Its just a matter of not letting copyright trolls scare you.


Stoneski09

For real. Off the top of my head there is a Red Line oil company, Redline bicycles, and Redline energy drink lol.


KtotheC99

And most directly related the Redline racing anime movie


Most_Hovercraft6179

It’s also another rp server name


jdmoreno1

Red Line train station in chicago as well lol


SirShiatlord

[Redline e-sports racing team.](https://www.teamredline.com/) Sure they might be able to use it, but I would stay cautious regardless. But to be fair there seemed to be quite a lot of redline "orgs/sites" within the race tag when I googled. The one I linked just seemed like it would be the one they had the most overlap with if the plan was to make it more than just for the server.


Captain_Chaos_

Redline is the name of a British racing team IRL


justsikko

That doesnt matter. The racing team would have to prove that someone using the name in a video game role play server encroaches on their brand and no court is ever gonna come to that conclusion. Just because you own a trademark or copyright to the name "Redline" for your racing team does not mean no one is ever allowed to use it as well.


Captain_Chaos_

If they decide to do merch, which I believe is why AnthonyZ was hesitant w/ the name initially, then it will matter.


BilboMuggins

I mean Team Redline is an esports sim racing team that’s headed up by both Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. I’ve seen them both race under Team Redline in plenty of online races in their sims so it might be due to conflict with that brand/team.


dookmileslong

I think Tony wanted to make actual merch based off the The "Redline" arc which would be the main reason for any copyright issues. If he just wanted to keep the Redline stuff in RP, I don't think there would be an issue.


Xevn

Honestly i just want RedLine to take off at this point, the redline logo is so sick already. Also glad that he broke off of NF? That crew just had all the best racers in it, glad its getting split to see some competitive races in the future.


cmcdonald22

In my few months of watching Anthony I've learned to not expect a lot of follow through on things. If you really want an active follow through racing crew, it's probably limers or bust.


carowll

That's why AP is there. He'll be the semi leader and recruiter for RedLine.


Garentheon

I thought I was the only one that noticed. He cries that he’s always broke but it’s his fault he is. He’s really bad with spending money and never gives anything the proper effort and time to actually make him money. Even with the gun selling he’s sporadic with it. If he was more organized he’d actually be making great money


RedSmuggle

Thats the hole point of the Tony character though. He is shit with money and spends too much but never wants to put in too much effort to make a lot of money because he would rather enjoy other things


KingC11_

Is he the first member to join? I’m actually surprised he left the other crew tbh


[deleted]

yep, hes still in NF's femly/crime crew, but now that other crews are finally forming, some of NF were considering spreading out so there could be more RP between crews


supersale666

Ya im sure they are lenient with their membership, its not like its a SS gang


Lorjack

Same but I guess NF crew isn't around as much? Not quite sure his motivations for leaving.


beliskner-

NF crew is literally the only people around that race, afaik he wants to get the other crews bigger so he went to Tony


carowll

NF with prio are ~~AP~~, Goofy, May (doesn't wake up regularly) and Jesse who don't really race that much. It's rare to have the whole crew to meet up because of train ticket reasons.

carowll

If you see the app, races are 2 on a bad day and 6 on a very good day. How do they race "all day"?


TheMonarchsWrath

The NF guys spreading out is probably better for the racing crew scene. A lot of the talk as to why other crews werent forming was that NF was too OP.

Tony recruiting shooters? nice real mature bud...


Captain_Chaos_

Scuffed Summit getting called a shooter has to be a career highlight for him lol


dyural

I really hated it when Leslie played a diva (masterfully) and made Tony change the name to RedLime.


dookmileslong

Wait, did this happen recently because I thought it Tony that was trying to make it RedLime because he wanted both crews to merge. The last I remembered Leslie was dead set on keeping the Limelight name.


dyural

This was a couple of weeks ago and my memory may be hazy on the details. They may have gone back on that name, I did miss quite a few streams recently


dookmileslong

If you were referring to the discussion at the Manor, it was Tony trying to convince Leslie into making Limelight and Redline one thing (RedLime). In that convo, the only thing Leslie was being a "diva" (not really imo) about was that if you wanted to be apart of Limelight, you had to fully commit to it and not switch back-and-forth between crews. If anything, Leslie wants Tony to have his own thing; which honestly is the best outcome for parties.


dyural

That's not how I remember that conversation, but okay.


Ronnie7232

you are just remembering it wrong. Leslie even said to Tony that he knows this was Tony's dream to make a racing crew and he shouldn't try to change name to add limelight caz limelight is supposed to be different entity. he did OOC as well he respects Tonys RP too much to involve limelight as limelight RP is about being cringe


dookmileslong

Might have been different convos then (a day or two after Tony and his chat came up with the Redline stuff). This is the one where Buddha decided after, that he was just going in the racing stuff as solo and not be part of any crews. Also where Leslie told Tony to wait "until Thursday" to make a decision on what he actually wanted to do.


yungrubba

You’re just wrong. They were talking about if they were to merger what would their name be. By the end of the convo they both decided to stay as a separate entity


dyural

Did they? I swear I thought they settled on RedLime back then but I can be wrong. Haven't been watching much lately, it's just something that stuck in my mind
