W A N T E D: ATTORNEY HAM OF AT LEAST 25 YEARS, HIGHLY EXPERIENCED IN COPY
RIGHT, PATENT LAW AND MOLE HILL MOUNTAIN CLIMBING, TO GIVE PRO BONO LAW
OPINION (FREE) ON TT OF MATTER TAKING UP TT SPACE THAT SHOULD BE USED FOR
AIRING USUAL BUT VERY USEFUL BAND-AIDS FOR DEFICIENTLY DESIGNED EQUIPMENT AND
OTHER VERY USEFUL CORRECTIVE AND LONGEVITY CONCEPTS WE ALL LOVE TO USE. IF
POSTS BELOW AREN'T ENOUGH BAD EVIDENCE, THE REST CAN BE SUBPOENAED. IN
APPRECIATION, TT HAMDUMB--(CORRECTION) HAMDOOM--HAMDOME--HAMDOM (TAKE YOUR
PICK) WILL PROVIDE PRO-BONO TECHNICAL (FREE TECHNICAL ADVICE, ALUMINUM TUBING
LIKE--6' x3/4"x.058"--OTHER PARTS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE IF CLOSE) TO YOU IN
EXCHANGE. CERTAIN OF US WOULD EVEN APPEAR AS TECHNICAL WITNESSES IN COURT
FOR YOU IF EVER NEEDED. (WE UNDERSTAND IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO DECLINE OUR
OFFER--PARTICULARLY FOR COURT). WE MUST SOLVE THIS MONUMENTAL LEGAL
COPYRIGHT MOLE HILL MADE TO A MOUNTAIN PROBLEM AND WILL ALSO TELL NO MORE
LAWYER JOKES IF YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM. OTHER LAWYERS WILL LOVE YOU. IF YOU
DON'T WE WILL CONTINUE AND TELL EVEN MORE DUMB LAWYER JOKES. SUCH A DEAL!
(Why can't all the collective expertise on TT solve this simple legal
problem? Why don't we ask those who know when we don't--I even do that? If
there is an Attorney Ham that reads this--why hasn't he volunteered advice?
Maybe there is a reason? K7GCO)

How can the physical dimensions of an antenna be
copyrighted, please explain. I still insist, by the same token,
taking a picture of the same antenna must then be illegal.
Also I insist, if I hypothecicaly would build an EXACT
copy of an C31XR I might be walking on thin ice.
However I think it�s OK if I do so and only have it for
personal use. If I make an EXACT copy and start to
sell it I�m sure Force12 would sue me. In this case the above
wasn�t the issue. YU1AO only published a file with dimensions
for a C31XR and that surely cannot violate the copyright laws.
That's the BS old chap and no I don�t have to wish you 73 either
but since I�m a lot nicer then you I still will so a big
73 to you old chap. de Jim SM2EKM

Look, 'Jim':
What the YU published was copyrighted. *That's* what's at issue, so
your bombast is, as before, continuation of an attempt to defend the
indefensible. I quote the last paragraph of your intemperate response: "So
you see most of what you have been writing in this matter is *nothing* like
pure BS." (emphasis mine). Yes, you're correct: no BS from this end.
BTW, your post puts me in company I admire. Did you forget to include
that response as well? *no* 73 K3BH
