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
