Having seen the length Plagiarism thread that's been running
on .general lately, it led me to thinking...
At what point - in your own opinion - does getting inspiration from
another person's model become copying it? Supposing you see
a novel way of connecting two pieces together - this happens to me,
typically with TLG sets that demonstrate a new idea. I can't think of
one offhand, but I used to use the 8x4 plate car base in the same way
each time until a new model showed a new way of thinking.
I suppose you could say that a model "Draws on inspiration from Mr Smith's
model," and that it resembles somebody elses, or shows a strong
Martian influence...
I haven't been able to see any of the models mentioned in the Plagiarism
thread, so can't comment directly, but how much room is there for developing
an idea?
What do you think?
David Leese.

| I don't it is wrong, necessarily, if I saw his model, and recreated it because I thought it was cool, and just have it. But if you try to sell it, or when you take the same picture (What this whole issue is about), use it for your gain, and win (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

| One of the reasons why I publish some of my models on the net, other than boosting my ego, of course, is to share my ideas with other people. If someone got inspiration from looking at my models and tried to make something slighlt different, I would (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
