A great analogy of this is that you can go a

I think this analogy is not so great. The reason why
we can't take things home from a museum is that things
there are unique and in a museum more people can come
see it.
In the virtual world it's rather the other way around:
things are not unique, copies are indentical to the
original, and if more people 'take them with them',
the more it will be seen.
Please understand, I don't want this discussion to
be focussed on this copyright vs. public issue. I do
respect all efforts to make any contest fair.

I still would like to respect the author's choice not to have the raw DAT code
posted, it is after all his/her property.

I agree (strongly) with Orion here. While I'd love to have copies of other
people's LDraw files when voting for the contest, ultimately the decision to
make the source of a model public should remain up to the author.
