instruction sheet project

[drunken monkey]

that's the thing; i'm not sure it's not as simple as that (stating ownership)
i recall a few months back, record companies were trying to put a stop to people posting lyrics on the 'net. Admittedly, this isn't quite the same thing but i'm pretty sure that posting a COMPLETE copy of something like a set of instructions for something other than personal use could be taken as infringment (do publishing laws apply for instructions?)

in anycase, i was just suggesting that some investigation might be in order as part of the background preparations.

Well I have the day off today so I may spend my time calling and righting some E-mails then to find out what I may need to do. I have had some contact with one company to get some sheets for discontinued models for this product but my lack of knowledge to speak some Asian languages will hinder progress a bit.

But why scan all the instructions? Its a lot of work! Just make a list with owner, emailadress and the instructions he owns. If some needs a instruction, he searches the alfabetacly list of intructions, looks at the email adress, contacts the owner and than the owner van scan the instructions sheet.

It's not the same thing. RIAA are dumb and in need of cash. They try to piss as much people as they can and then think we will be apply to pay $20 for a cd. Pay & smile even if we piss you off.

Anyway, the same thing apply to box art of the models, no one have problem posting boxart and it's copyright. Hobby Search don't seem to have problem posting instruction sheets. So unless you erase the name of the maker, put your name on it and sell it, you will be fine. No one is making money with that.

Because we want something useful. Knowing how have a sheet isn't useful. If it's too much work today for you to scan the instruction, it will be too much work when someone will need it. And a collection of email address on the web is the worst idea you can make to get spamming.

Scanning as Jpg or pdf is the best idea.
