Now THAT'S fuckin gold right there.

If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public!
If you want to make exploring friends, send people private messages! Meet up in real life! Get off the internet!

Ok, so I have read pretty much everything in this thread, and I don't really get whats going on here. I get that he plagiarized, that seems pretty concrete, but what is with the intense amount of animosity? And after reading this thread, following all the links therein, it just seems like both parties involved have gone to great lengths to bash each other. I get that this hobby tends to cause huge riffs between people, but this just seems sort of... petty to me.

I want to add I'm not defending Greg Brick, because he does indeed seem like a total douche, but its hard to draw conclusions based off comments and speculation on biased websites.

So pretty much, why is there so much hate between these two? Is it just because Max Action inadvertently "stole his thunder" years ago? Because if so, Mr. Brick should just get his head out of his ass. In a lot of cases, we (explorers)go to the same locations, and in a lot of instances take similar pictures or video, and to me that's just how it goes. If somebody goes to my usual hospital, and takes some pictures, I'm not going to claim they are stealing my thunder. Maybe i'm missing something, and I would like to know what it is, because this whole situation is kinda fucked

for years brick has gone out of his way to bad mouth us in every publication he has, ever since he was 'kicked out' of associating with explorers for locking up local caves to 'keep them safe', but keep the key himself. He's a hypocrite. But then he may-or-may-not have lifted a story from max. Max has a right to say what he thinks... but brick is throwing a temper tantrum on top of it. He called max a nazi and a bunch of other shit on his website... which his lawyer later advised him to take down. Then he tried to sue him. Then we all started on brick. Now he's throwing another fit, and shit is stirring again, just as it was looking to begin to settle.

Yes, Greg has been stirring the pot for at least 12 years now . Nobody has said anything publicly until the book came out with a passage from Max's website almost verbatim. Max wasn't going to sit idle on that one, and neither would anyone I know if it happened to them. The prick ends up sueing Max to scare him into silence. it didn't work. Greg is a lifelong student at 50, and if he wants any chance at a job, plagiarism isn't good on a resume. You SEO me, fuck knob shouldn't have did it. But in his mind it is ok because he doesn't like or respect Max, or anyone younger than him. He is NOT responsible for his own actions. Some people have decided to hold him accountable. He doesn't like it. I'm not going to let him win if I can help it, not when he could give Max a simple apology and end it all. Thanks for reading though.

Someone who works for a government agency, may or may not have just sent an e-mail (from that govt. agency account) to let the library know that there are allegations that Mr. Brick has plagiarized portions of his book. It was done strictly out of concern that it may look poorly on the library to allow him to give a lecture in which he is presented as an "expert," on a subject in which he had to steal stories to write a simple book.

At least that MAY have happened.

Let's watch that calendar of events.

Funny shit. The library is using one of Max's images of the Ford mines with some guy we don't even know holding a Fat Cat. I guess he's doing a presentation and they just googled a picture. Than you, whoever it was that sent me this link.


Now that is funny, I wonder if someone should send Greg and/or the library a copyright infringement takedown notice



Turn off the internet and go play outside.

This MAY have already happened.......

But multiple messages probably would help the cause...

I can't keep up with this thread. And I am drunk right now. But yeah, Greg Brick sued Max even though Max had right to call Greg Brick out for plagiarism. To my knowledge the suit has ended in a stalemate, but Greg Brick has further posted inflammatory bullshit like this : http://gregbrick.o...n-max-action-squad Greg Brick is a liar and a thief and needs to be called out for hi plagiarism.

I would get into a battle of wits with you guys, but I would not want to fight an unarmed opponent.

Need I remind you that what I used was shared experiences. Also, if your work is unpublished, it is not subject to any copyright protections.

I do not appreciate you attacks on me or your childish games, it is no wonder I left your organization.

Ummm yeah.... You do realize that a posting on a website is a form of publishing. Also in the US, when you write something or take a photograph, the copyright is created weather it is registered or not. Unless the creator gives you expressed permission to copy their content, then doing so is a violation of their copyright. There is no such thing as implied permission. All rights are held by the creator unless explicitly given away. There is fair use, but your book isn't comedy or parody.

Also, you can litigate over whatever you want, but it doesn't mean you have a case.


From what I understand...

If your work is unpublished and unregistered with a copyright office, your maximum damages you can file for is limited to actual damages, which doesn't amount to much and is difficult to prove. To get the juicy $150,000/infringement you have to have either a contract with the infringee or have your work registered with a copyright office.

BS, you're not greg. Greg uses bigger words to make sure he's getting good use out of his lifetime-academic status.
