If somebody can sell an exact copy of a official lego sets, using the
bricks from other sets, as "without box and instructions", I think
anybody also can reproduce and sell all of the models around the net,
including GOB sets as "without certificate". I don't think the original
model builder could have a legal support for his/her case. Also I can
still can't imagine how someone can sue others if they are currently
living in different parts of the world, having different law codes with
different interpretations of IP. I really can't imagine any code of law
outside of US which stretch the IP thing to the extreme like US ones.
Of course one can get public support (from other AFOLS) for his case and
make this supposedly "thief" of his/her original design labeled.
