Also. Nick your channel is the shit. Im a fairly new sub and almost daily im coming back to watch a video. Thank you keep it up good sir!
Sorry Mr. Moger that is what happens when you sign a contract with bodybuilding.com. You released all the photo and your name when you did the program several years ago.
I gave up on BB.com years ago. Too many knuckleheads. Useless.
Bodybuilding.com has started doing that to all the use to be free programs. F&@$ bodybuilding.com
"A six week plan I did with them two years ago". << Legally speaking, they probably own the content and can re-package it and sell it as they see fit. It would really come down to the contract they signed with him. Ethically speaking, that's beyond lame and will hurt them more than it helps and they need to compensate everyone whose name they are using or re-up the contract like professionals. Yet another straw on a dying camel's back. Sad day.
Thanks von Information
Bodybuilding .com is not the reputable company they used to be especially since other places like Tiger Fitness are killing their business.
Wow that's pretty egregious. Maybe Bodybuildingdotcom have found a fair use loop hole, or Calum's management sold his likeness rights behind his back.
Calum von Lawsuit
Didn’t he actually say that he did in fact do this with them, but it was 2 years ago… he doesn’t currently do this workout anymore.
It almost sounded to me as if he may not have read the fine print of a contract OR, BB.com failed to understand what they purchased.
I am sure a court will sort this out quickly.
There must have been some thing in the fine print to allow this albeit hidden and sneak because they wouldn’t open themselves to a blatantly obvious law suit.
the guy is dumb…they probably made him sign a contract he never read . I bet the app stays up.
Isn’t that illegal??
I feel like of calum worked with them 2 years ago on something then hr surely signed a release agreement stating some sort of permission to use his image and bb.com may still be covered by it.
Everything happens to the poor Crying Von Monger: Bradley, Bicep, Leg, BB.com... I think his personality is so weak.
You’re like Akedimiks
"without asking, without permission" I bet he signed something when he did the original program.
calum von desperate
Good Job Nick.
Quick comment. He said he did do a plan with them 2 years ago that was free and that is what’s in the app. He needs the check if he signed a waiver in perpetuity to use his likeness when he did the plan with them previously. Perhaps I misheard what he said in the video. A little due diligence with his lawyer and I’m sure it will be sorted out. Many times when you do something for “free” when you are building your brand you may not realize that the fine print has the waiver clause. That’s standard operating procedure. What he developed through them (BB.com) or for them typically would become theirs. (BB.com) not bagging Calum or this post AT ALL just commenting on what Calum says in the video. 👍🏼
Pretty sure Callum said in the snap that he did the program with bodybuilding.com two years ago…that means he would have signed off on it when he did it originally, which I’m sure would have had in the fine print that all content and likeness could be used at any point should bodybuilding.com wish…they’re a huge company they don’t make little mistakes like this…is it shady that Callum doesn’t get paid? Ya! But that would have been his own fault in not reading any paperwork that was presented to him 2 years ago…
Now make a video on why anyone would get an app done by a professional bodybuilder
I don't know if it's a change in policy but bb.com has been charging for workout programs which were previously free for everyone to download and use.
steve cook recently mentioned this in one of his youtube videos as they have done the same to him using his image and his plans that he made but now they are charging people without his knowledge
Bit rich.
Promoting protein powders and bcaas to young gym heads (making money) and is upset someone used his name.
Online marketing for ya
Thanks for the support Nick. I appreciate it. After I called them out a bunch of other influencers also reached out to me saying they had done the same thing to them incl hany Rambod so it’s good they got exposed for this shady shit
Why doesnt he do what Trevor Bauer did and just sue them?
I'm not surprised. I was never impressed with Bodybuilding.com when I was on the forums or reading the articles.
Nick here wit ne stre an power
Then sue them you idiot , huh
Cut that young commission check lol
So is this app actually gone now? I can't find it on the App Store. Anyone else find it now?
Nick is the man!
What’s the situation rn
True these workouts were for free, just few days ago i discovered that bodybuilding.com strated charging money for these plans
better call saul
I don't know why but i feel Bodybuilding.com is like fake
He probably signed away the rights of all the stuff he did for bodybuilding.com when he did the “free” stuff for them long ago including his name association with the workouts. If that’s the case, BB.com is still sneaky, but calum should realize he’s just being a whiny bitch and is birthing they are legally taking advantage of him
Could this app have been a bodybuilder?
Shady asf!
