To All,

On this same vein, one of the nominies for this month is extremely familar.
I hestitate to call it a rip-off until I find the orginal.  Anyone in
.pirates recognize this?

This is a bloody shame...

Indeed. Does anyone else think that because of the reoccuring theme of theft
of images, and TLC's apprarent lack of staff or monitoring to combat this,
that this should just be shut down? With the thousands of LEGO oriented
pictures, websites, etc. out there, there is an almost certainty of theft
for the expressed purpose of this contest. I think it is about time to scrap it.
YMMV.

Interesting... Maybe Lego(R) enthusiasts should make some copyright and terms of use clauses to protect their work and the likeness. Watermarking images? -Rob (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.pirates)
