I think someone is showing some of my work at BrickShelf.  Other folk have this
happen, too?

My original work with the graphic assistance of Jeroen de Haan:

And a re-use and organization of the same images (I think) by Train417:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=260822

It's a nice re-organaization of the instructions.  I guess I have some concern
that the pics were taken, but I'm not that bothered by it.  Maybe it will call
attention to the design again, and get others inspired to build it or build
their own versions...again...as the B-Unit is a bit of an aging project-- old to
many, but still fresh to newcomers.

Just wondering what you all think?

Thanks.

later,
James Mathis

(...) [snip] (...) Dear James, whenever a design gets under attack of a pirate, this is two things at the same time: it is of course a praise of the original design (why else should someone else copy it?). But at the same time this can be an (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jun-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If I were you I would contact ebay. Send them the pictures that you have and let them know that you want it taken off. I had several needlepoint designs copied and kits were being sold on ebay. I had a copyright on them and because they (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jun-07, to lugnet.trains)
