Honestly, I'd like to pick the brains of the legal brain trust on this board.

Note my comparison above to Trademark law. The above example was more for moral argument, but if the club really wants to do something there is another example that might work.

Trademark law does in fact prevent someone from refurbishing a product without marking it as such. (The most famous case involves re-charged batteries sold without beingmarked as such -- fond to be a trademark infringement.) Of course the only person with standing to sue them is the manufacturer -- in this case I would assume it would extend to both the chip manufacturer and the casino. Are the manufacturers who made these controversial restored chips still in business (even under different ownership)? If so, the club might lobby them to take action.

This is just me tossing out a thoght that crossed my mind. Opposing thoughts and opinions welcomed.
