I have it on very good authority that (I quote) "Today's copyright laws cover "creative works" automatically, without filing any paperwork. Of course paperwork provides additional coverage." (end quote)

He may have been worried about this.

Jay: I just read Bob"s responce. Let me assure you it sounds like the true gentleman my wife and I met last summer in Rochester NY. We had lunch with Bob and his wife Glenda, truly an unforgetable experience.

Jay - You are indeed correct about copywright protection! I learned this the other night from one of my daughters who is a commercial artist (she has had a couple occasions where her work was copied then reproduced illegally for profit).

Also an attorney friend - a rabid Allis-Chalmers collector who looks down on my IHC stuff, but otherwise is a decent guy - shared a similar opinion around copywright protection.

---

Bottom line here is while the Ebay auction twisted my tail a bit and caused me some minor annoyance, it certainly never caused me "financial harm". Rather I suspect the potential illegal profit by this clown at my expense probably wouldn't cover the price of a fish fry and pitcher of beer at the local tavern for my wife and me. I.e. it's not a big deal.

And on the positive side, over the past 6 or 7 years I have benefited beyond my wildest imagination from the collective wisdom shared by the good people on this board. It's only appropriate I "give something back" by sharing my diagrams free of charge with the like-minded folks here.

And....with the hit counter on my diagrams page now approaching 200,000 views, it appears this goal is being accomplished. That's reward enough for me! ...Bob M
