I certainly wouldn’t expect anything less from you, Larry. I don’t think
we’ve been on the same side of an issue more than once.

What do Larry’s opinions have to do with it?

You nicely overlook the “have you no shame” commment that really
got my ire up. Judge jury and executioner all rolled up into one one that
sentence.
The fact is, I have adopted design techniques and made ships that have much
in common with other peoples’ creations.
|
The *issue* is...
| |
I have credited some, some after they contacted me asking if I based a design
|
Shouldn’t that tip you off as to how close to go before giving credit?
Very evident.
| |
people are sitting around here waiting for credits when someone
else uses a technique they use. Why are we all not crediting the guy/gal who
first began SNOT every time we build a ship with SNOT techniques? How about
the guy who first used wheels as engines?
|
There’s a difference between, say, borrowing someone’s joint tech (like in
mechas) and trying to copy
their model as closely as possible then putting a
copyright on an
image of your version. Which is what you’re doing.
| |
It isn’t your place or anyone else’s place to question me and prejudge me if
I have credited another’s design.
|
The thing is, there’s money involved. You are (ostensibly) making a profit off
of spaceships that look a heck of a lot like other people’s. Have you considered
how they feel about this?
| |
It is my call, just like it’s your call if
you do. If I don’t think it’s a big enough thing, I don’t believe I must
credit someone else. We all have to determine what ‘big enough’ is. Nobody
here owns a certain technique and technically, nobody here is required to
credit anyone else, although I do think it is a nice thing to do. That’s why
I did on my recent ship, and why I should have initially on the Delta Dart
fighter.
|
Well, you certainly don’t have any qualms with the “big enough” part. If you
don’t feel bad about selling other people’s Lego designs without their consent
or knowledge, you may as well crib off of cooler spaceships. If you’re gonna go
all the way, why not make kits of
Chris Giddens’
PCS HopLab or
Daniel
Jassim’s Nasal Avenger? How about
anything
from
Kyle
Vreize? All those are
awesome, I wouldn’t mind buying kits of those. Even if they’d have a lackluster
blue-and-dark-gray colorscheme.
| |
Your glib, sarcastic response about “Well how many ships have you copied, and
I’ll estimate how many you need to credit” line really tells me what you’re
all about. Thanks for being such a thoughtful person.

Well, you’ve got to decide what you’re all about. Are you going to play nice,
or are you just in it for the money?
Smooches, Kevin Heckel
