The only reason to copyright anything is to keep others from PROFITING off of the idea/work of someone else.

You can copy anything to use for your own enjoyment. Like taping an episode of Friends onto DVD. It becomes a legal issue when you use that copy of Friends to make money. IE - Having a Friends Party and charging admission - or simply making and selling copies of it. It's illegal when you PROFIT from someone else's work.

Is anyone profiting from your work?

Didn't think so.

I am scared to death that ANYONE would start to bring legality into our world. You just may be starting something that will ruin this hobby for everyone.

Think about it...the REAL copyright infringment is occurring all over the EF world. Custom boards, board covers, decals, custom figs...all produced with the unauthorized use of licensed and COPYRIGHTED logos and sold for PROFIT. Your legal stance just may bring this into more focus...thanks.

Thanks AB for bringing legality to our hobby...letting your ego ruin the fun and the private customization businesses of dozens on this board.

We all thank you!
