This crosses into the neighbourhood of ownership. I don't think anyone holds
the copyrights to their creations once posted on Brickshelf. Dosn't it state
that once posted all images belong to Lego Inc? The only thing we own is the
bricks and once we make a model it's a lot easier than reverse engineering a
radio to figure out how someone made it. Yes I'm sure I would be miffed if
the unlikly situation arose when someone said my lego model was theirs but
I'm not holding my breath for that event. After posting pictures of a model
or drawings onto the net I've pretty much given them up to public domain.
It's just the current nature of the internet environment that content is
essentially free to get. I like the idea of watermarking an image for
reference use but not to deface it as some territorial stamping. It's nice
to know who made it but not at the sake of viewing the image.
