Hi Brendan,
I would expect most Danes to at least *read* and understand
English, but anyway, here is a paragraph-by-paragraph translation:
Greetings.
*Vær hilset.
Part of your website has recently been brought to my attention due to
its
striking similarity to part of my own. Specifically I am refering to
the
story of Jesus's birth as illustrated in a series of LEGO images:
*Dele af jeres hjemmeside er fornyligt blevet mig bekendt pga. dets
*lighed med dele af min egen hjemmeside. Jeg refererer specialt til
*historien om Jesu fødsel illustreret med LEGO billeder.
http://www.ung-jul.church.dk/Englen_Gabriel.1163.0.html
While anyone can illustrate Bible stories in LEGO, in this case it is
quite
clear that the work presented on your website is an image-for-image
replication of my work presented here:
*Selv om enhver kan illustrere Biblens historier i LEGO, er det i dette
*tilfælde ganske klart, at det arbejde I præsenterer på jeres hjemmeside
*er en billede-for-billede gengivelse af mit arbejde, som kan ses her:
http://bricktestament.com/the_gospels/jesus_is_born/mt01_18_lk01_26.html
which has been available to the public on the internet since December
2001,
and is part of my larger series of LEGO illustrated Bible stories:
*hvilket har været offentligt tilgængeligt på Internettet siden December
*2001 og er en del af en større mængde serier LEGO-illustrede
Bibel-historier:
http://bricktestament.com
What concerns me is that your website presents your illustrated LEGO
story
as an original idea which its builder, Glenn, got on his own. A simple
side-by-side comparison of the two websites reveals that this could not
have
been the case. Each image of Glenn's work is clearly based on one of
mine,
and its telling of the Nativity story *exactly* parallels mine.
*Det der bekymrer mig er, at jeres hjemmeside præsenterer den
LEGO-illustrede
*historie som en original idé, som byggeren, Glenn, selv har fostret. En
simpel
*side-for-side-sammenligning af de to hjemmesider afslører, at dette
ikke kan
*være tilfældet. Hvert af Glenns billeder er nøjagtigt baseret på ét af
mine,
*og genfortællingen af den oprindelige historie er *fuldstændig*
parallel til min.
I would very much appreciate if you would give credit to Glenn's
inspiration, my website, The Brick Testament, and provide a link to it:
*Jeg ville sætte pris på, at I ville henvise til Glenns
inspirationskilde,
*min hjemmeside: The Brick Testament:
http://bricktestament.com
particularly the story he has made his own rendition of:
*specielt historien, som han har lavet sin egne billeder til:
http://bricktestament.com/the_gospels/jesus_is_born/mt01_18_lk01_26.html
Thank you,
*På forhånd tak,
-The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith
