(...) This amount is likely to be quite miniscule. Something on the order of less than $1 per copy of the set. (In the recording industry, artists usually get a dollar or two per album sold. And that is with the amount being written in a contract.) (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) You mistake the idea of appreciation with patronage -- and those are NOT the same thing at all. Did Michaelangelo serve as patron to Leonardo? An overblown example, but you get the point... -- Richard (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) You "prize" the wrong thing, in my view. You prize the collectability of the thing, or the elitism of owning the thing, and not the thing itself. That seems pretty whacky to me, considering we are talking about plastic toys! -- Richard (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I have been follwoing the discussion about TLG's announcement regarding "design your own" set and the sub-discussion about GoB designs and the possibility of people copying them. This is a suggestion to the GoB designers. I think that your group (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Intresting comments. I heard rumours that one clones manafacturers 'reverse enginered' a brick by scanning into a computer with a laser type scanner. Of course TLG/TLC got em fair and square in the courts.. Perhaps TLC/TLG might want to have (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

In additon to your comments the page syas something about Issue #1. Perhaps Lego took up the idea a fan- web zine? (after all the non-action when I tired to get an independent one started :-) !!)

Warning, uninformed speculation ahead. That annoys some people (and their annoyance, in turn, bemuses others). (...) I think this is the very MOST that we can hope for and it is in fact a stretch.

(...) I think you have a very valid point here! If we will be enabled to create models using any part that has ever been created, it will mean the end of those ridiculous prices you see on Ebay...

(...) Actually, I think LEGO would benefit greatly (as in, money in their pockets) if they offered the desireable parts because they are simply desireable! However, I'd have mixed feelings about it.
