two groups with the same name

Darn it! The SAE Philipines guy deleted his post before I could quote him.

At any rate....this is what I just found from a video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMCsjg4pBu4)

"Their" flag:

and

SAE's official flag:


One of them wearing a t-shirt with "their" coat of arms:

Hmm, looks suspiciously like SAE's coa:


Seems they even stole your True Gentlemen slogan:

as well as your colors and "Phi Alpha."



A coincidence of having the same letters is one thing, but IMO this deserves some serious a**-kicking!

ETA: SAEalumnus, you just updated your post while I was typing. How on earth are they getting away with this? I noticed that none of these things are on their official website but they're using them just the same. Very sneaky. and smarmy

Actually I deleted the post. What you've just found is exactly what I've been talking about.

Notice they're stealing the 20th Century Fox clip and a Nickleback song in addition to all of our imagery. I wonder if Fox or Nickleback are receiving any royalties from that or if any permission was obtained?

ETA: I love how at the end of that video they have the balls to say "copyright 2007" and "all initiation rights reserved" after lifting material from three different owners.

Yep, it's just a copyright infringement extravaganza!
