@Pavle, just sell the site to SJCam. Then you will have money to continue your work on a new site with better name which can include any camera for review.
And keep your property for your guides so you can use them on your new site.
enjoy,

Those screenshots are all of independent sites not under control of GitUp, if they choose to review or sell multiple brands on the same page then that is their choice, you can't control which brands they choose to display and shouldn't try to do so.Let **itUP do their own brand, but, why on their site are they mixing the two brands?
See the attached screenshots; This is unfair marketing by **tup:
Maybe the intimidation is an attempt to reduce the cost of buying the site, my guess is that it will have increased the cost!@Pavle, just sell the site to SJCam. Then you will have money to continue your work on a new site with better name which can include any camera for review.

From the Gitup about page, it appears that they are a separate company called "GitUp Ltd", maybe that company shares an owner with the sjcam.com site which is clearly a retail site and in a different business but as separate company they should not be blamed for each others actions and in any case neither site appears to mention the other brand so the claims of mixing brands are invalid.your issues are obviously with whoever is behind GitUp, until this came about I don't recall any connection being made by anyone here, it only came to light when you made it that way, it seems whoever it is has some type of prior connection to your company and there's some type of feud going on, maybe GitUp are the bad guys, they don't look that way though
We didn't mean to intimidate or offend anyone, but, please do not use SJCAM to promote GitUp on your homepage like this (See attached)
Absolutely. I would do the same. I am a big believer in freedom of speech and independent web. From the day one, my website is about honest reviews, in-depth ones and not about brands as I said already.If Apple sent a letter like this, would you say Apple was "bullying"?
I had no idea, neither did anyone except you and GitUp that you were affiliated, but now we all know, thanks for announcing it here.Because, the whole world knows that Xiaomi and SJCAM has "zero" affiliation.
It was a threat, I saw it as one. If it was not an intent to be one, I accept your apology.SJCAM never mentioned taking any measures against anyone so kindly asking materials to be removed from a Website which has trademark name in it is reasonable.
I have never ever received a free camera nor a fee for any of SJCAM products from sjcam or sjcamhd. I never accept fees for reviews. I paid for all my SJCAM cameras except for SJ4000+ which was kindly provided by GearBest. I have never ever spoke to you about sending me free M10+. GearBest offered me one, but we have not yet decided when or if it will be sent.Yes, actually, I really like Pavle. Made sure his M10+ plus shipped out first as he was so patient and courteous.
I do not want to do that. I really like my site and I like the tiny community around it. I would be bored without it. It helps me improve my English while doing something I enjoy. And quite off topic, but you MTZ and few other members here helped me a lot and inspired me to create my own tiny blog, so thank you for that.@Pavle, just sell the site to SJCam
If this whole thing is about that, then sorry but I am not interested, not at all.mergers and acquisitions ....
Does anyone else see the irony in a Chinese company being annoyed about trademark/copyright infringement?
Ahhh @Dashmellow didn't see that I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was reading this scratching my head.
We apologized in my last post to Pavle if he thought he was bullied.
The fact is, we were simply asking him to remove "***up" from a site that has SJCAM in the URL which is trademarked in over 100 countries in the world.
But just occasionally somebody comes along with something which is genuinely better and not just a poor copy. Sir James Dyson was one who did.They say that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", but sadly, most of these clones are like drinking instant coffee compared to a cup of fresh ground gourmet brew.

Sad to see that http://www.eshop-rychle.cz/kamera-pro-sport (sjcamkamery.cz) has now removed the GitUp logo from their banner, presumably as a result of the intimidation? That seems like unfair trading practice to me.
Mr Sjcam Official posted an image of it in posts #35 and #33 with the GitUp logo on the header which has now gone. I can see no reason whatsoever why http://www.eshop-rychle.cz shouldn't sell more than one brand of action cam, even if it does worry sjcam official!I've not seen this web site previously, so perhaps I'm missing something but the GitUp logo, photos of the camera and a banner for the brand do appear prominently on this page.

As in the music business, that statement is only true if the imitation is almost as good as the original. If it isn't, it's just plagiarism or, like you said, "instant coffee".They say that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" (...)
Off topic apology to the OP..................The problem is that these days pretty much everything is an imitation of something else, be it a TV, laptop, furniture, cars and yes cameras. I was in an electronics showroom looking at camera's (not dashcams) and all of them were rectangular cases with a lens in the middle, does that mean they all copied each other? I guess it does.
I was listening to a conversation on local radio recently where the presenter was arguing that we will eventually run out of unique music tracks due to every possible combination of notes being already used. He even played a number of tracks that sounded very similar to other tracks.
And still using the same 13 notes.Arguing that we will eventually run out of unique music "tracks" due to every possible combination of notes being already used sounds downright laughable and reveals a complete lack of appreciation for what music is all about or understanding of why it will continue evolving into new forms just has it has for thousands of years.
You don't need to stick to those 13 notes, in the real analogue world there are an infinite number of frequencies for creating new notes so it is impossible to run outAnd still using the same 13 notes.
Don't get me started otherwise this thread will derail faster than a brakeless train and Pavle won't be too happy about it.You don't need to stick to those 13 notes, in the real analogue world there are an infinite number of frequencies for creating new notes so it is impossible to run out
