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 say if
Duchamp tries to claim rights to the design of the urinal. Coca-Cola might
have something to say about the use of their logo and can design, using your

I can respect the cleverness of a design without according it the same
rights as *more* original work, that I think is far more deserving of
respect and legal protections.

I'm sure you can come up with examples that will force me to lean your way,
but the core of what you think and what I think about this subject are
obviously very different.  That's okay, we can agree to disagree.

And I'll have a lot of fun "knocking off" your MOCs in the meanwhile...try
and stop me!!!

(...) 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)
