Fox Flux strap re-direction

Anyone who has a Fox Flux helmet may find this useful
I've had one for about 6 months and came upon this rotorfark thread resurrection from last year

Apparently, due to some copyright thing
Fox didn't put their helmet strapping through the guides as it was designed

Anyway, it's hard to explain (see thread for details)
But if you haven't done yours
It will feel and fit so much better when you do

Just buy a Specialized and throw away the Fox.

I did the redirect last year and the helmet feels good...real good.

This is what annoys me about copyright - you get a second rate product just because someone "got there first".
It's no more obvious than in the bike world where things just have to be "different" to ensure you can't get sued even though they do essentially the same job. How thw hell do you copyright a cassette or a chain for example unless it contains some special new technology etc?
I can understand it if you are protectingt your rights on a zillion dollar product but not a $200 dollar helmet!
Open source helmets and relaease them under the GNU public licence I say!
