I didn't say they were the same as clones, I said I disagreed with it
almost as much :)

ok, it fits in the purpose, but where's the line drawn? Is a MOC not a
set if I don't sell it? What if I draw up plans for it and give them
away for free? What if I charge a penny for them? I'm not sure how it
would be kept as a db, nor what the demand would be, nor where the lines
would be drawn for it... I can't go down to the store and buy one of
Larry P's hoppers... and if I bought one, I bet I wouldn't be allowed to
post an inventory (I'm guessing)... I'm just not sure that they'd be
handled in any way similar to the current set db... separate, well, I
don't know, all the same questions still apply.
btw, would me selling a box of 2 x 4 blue bricks on brickbay as a set
count? LEGO doesn't make them in bulk...
