  This is incredible.  I have created a self-sustaining argument over Lego
rights.  This is actually, in a strange, twisted way, funny.  I never
thought that debates like this would carry over into Lugnet.  And never
intended to start a debate in the first place.
  To add my 2 cents worth, I personally feel that it's OK to copy, in part
or whole, a set.  HOWEVER!  If that set is sold to people (public
distribution of someone elses model) it DOES become illegal, or at least
just-plain-wrong.  I believe it is perfectly fine to display other people's
models on a site with your own (like the Blacktron Empire), AS LONG AS THE
ORIGINAL DESIGNER AND THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MODEL ARE LISTED ALSO.  I
would be over-joyed if everyone started building my models on their own.  I
would get mad if one of those people started turning a profit from it.
Please add your comments to the issue in one of the following replies I will
make as soon as I finish with this message.  One reply will be for people
opposed to the free trade of designs, another for.  It is just too confusing
to keep doing replies on replies, so please, ONLY respond to one of the two
replies to this message, and not to this itself.  I look forward to hearing
the different sides of the issue.

(...) Oh. My. I just can't help but feel that everything is about to change WAY to quickly for any of us to keep up. OK, I have to much to write, and to little time to write it (or type-who cares).
