Actually, TLC should state right up front an established amount of money for the designers of sets that could be broken down by the numbers of elements in the design. There is an obvious savings for them if they are able to reduce the number of set designers they staff in-house. This savings should equate to some kind of kick-back to the person's submitting designs. Also, people should ABSOLUTELY be given the choice of giving up their design, or retaining the rights to their design -- even if the design is being submitted to obtain the needed building elements. -- Richard

(...) This amount is likely to be quite miniscule. Something on the order of less than $1 per copy of the set. (In the recording industry, artists usually get a dollar or two per album sold. And that is with the amount being written in a contract.) (...) (23 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) If you are want to get pieces for a design, but don't want to give out the design, one could always do the design, get the piece count, and then build something unrelated that used the same pieces. Steve Martin (23 years ago, 6-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
