Its the same as this guy in Sunderland selling coppies or our hulls and also alot of everyone elses on Ebay, he is breaking the law, as for plans, this is a grey area, the origional copywright is or should belong to the draftsman, but, over the years when somebody has drawn a plan for something to better the hobby or what ever it is or was for, there was no need to worry, now there is!
The Chinese modelling manufacturers for one deny, but, have either coppied stuff from all over including hulls and fittings and now sell them as their own product.
This really upsets the origional person who may have took years of research to get things just about right.
This goes for anyone else, or should. Don't make money off somebody elses back its imoral to say the least.
Why do we in this country put up with these rules when we could copy anything and make it better ourselves, while people in other countries just do it and rip us all off. Not just people in other countries doing it, we got some pirates of our own in the UK. These guys need a seeing to.
My 10P worth.
