Are you saying you would not post the pictures as you want to keep your
copying antics secret, or because we’d not be interested?

The only problem I have with people copyrighting their own designs is that
we have all most all benefited from LEGO not doing just that - witness
Brickshelf. But I accept that AFOLs may have the right to copyright their
work, and I also accept that they may not have designed the models to start
with without thinking they could copyright the end result.
