   <snip> Okay, I'm going to say this, as I've been feeling it for a while.

   (...) I'm not sure I picked the most relevant part of your post, but whatever... But, I strongly disagree with this view of yours. As others have already pointed out, there are only so many ways the bricks go together -- AND it's a toy for crying (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

   (...) I disagree with this. I've seen the scorpion leg design, and it is almost identical to Mladen's. I don't think the design was outright stolen; in fact, it is very likely that Rick came across Mladen's design at some point, and it worked its (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

     (...) So are you saying then that each of us must do a search of all the creations we've looked at to make sure we properly credit any ideas we might have subconsciously used?

     (...) Yeah, and Duchamp can hang a urinal on the wall and call it a "ready-made" or whatever too. That doesn't make it art! Funny though it may be...maybe even conceptually profound. And I think the manufacturer of the urinal might have something to (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

     (...) Hm. Did Campbell's ever have any public comment on Andy Warhol's work? (Not contradicting, just asking for information in case anyone knows.) That's probably the highest profile example of an artist using someone else's trademarked work. Of (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

   (...) Let assume that the leg designs are all same (they are not). So what? Lego is a *toy* right? And everyone can made versions of the models that they see around, or made improvement to them or use part of it. What this gives or takes from you? (...)
