That's not how I read
http://news.lugnet.com/lego/direct/?n=1349
and James' later posts.
I think James is saying he will take you to court if you look at
a picture of his creation and try to build it out of your own bricks,
even if you don't then sell it. Later he backpedals slightly and
says he would try to resolve it out of court first.
Still, trying to forbid attempts by others to create a single copy
from a published picture for their own use is, IMHO, unusual and
unenforceable. Furthermore, I really doubt that that position
has any legal basis, but I would be interested to hear ideas about
this from someone who knows more about copyright law, both in
Canada and the USA and internationally.
