| | | | | (...) It probably isn't illegal. It's just not very smart, especially for the person(s) buying the item. Considering that most of the instruction are available from www.brickshelf.com and, (I'm only speculating here and am not in possession of any (...) (23 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| | | | | | | It would probably be illegal if it became obvious that the person "auctioning" that particular item was going to make a lot of money doing that. But at $1.30 ea. it doesn't look likely. Of course, TLG could say that this isn't a fair interpretation (...) (23 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| | | | | | | | | (...) I looks like some <insert pejorative here> has simply made a CD of BrickShelf. I say take let the eBay and TLC lawyer types growl in his(her?) direction. If that doesn't work, then take the muzzles off and let 'em loose. SRC Nothing (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| | | | | | | | (...) That COULD be illegal.... but... As far as I know, I can host a big image of Lego on my server and even put a disclaimer that says "This IS an official Lego site", and there'd be nothing illegal about it... Lego might not like it and they may (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| | | | | | | | G'Day I think the material probably did come from BrickShelf, but the - idea - is a good one. I would like to have a CD of instructions available, just makes things a little easier, maybe TLG could look into something like this. Cheers Oliver Play (...)

The images presented are under Lego's copyright. Lego has asked that no sets (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| | | | | | Pretty much my point. Not distinctly illegal, (other than the obvious intellectual property issue), but exceedingly stupid since you can get most of them free. Also, you'd have to have most of the sets anyway just to build what you see in each (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
