I totally agree. If Huw doesn't want to take down the scans, he certainly
doesn't have to. (I hope no one thought I was trying to bully him into
doing it.)
The issue, as far as LUGNET is concerned, from my point of view as a
sysadmin, is that the posting of the *news message* containing the list of
sets is potentially a violation of LEGO's publicity rights or other rights,
one of the Terms of Use for LUGNET is not to violate publicity rights of
others. That's my concern there. If TLC complains (not that they would)
and Huw posts another list (not that he would), I would probably have to
figure out how to handle that. Since the *scans* themselves do not appear
on lugnet.com, I have no business (professionally) telling Huw what to do
with the scans. But personally, as a fan, I can certainly offer my opinion
for Huw to consider.
From my point of view as a LEGO fan in a larger community of LEGO fans
(slightly different point of view), I don't personally think it sets a good
example to publish scans of catalogues that we weren't meant ever to see --
especially not prior to the release of the sets.
And from my point of view personally as a LEGO fan (very different point of
view), I *personally* do enjoy seeing such things -- but it still makes me
nervous.
