If I take someones car, I'm denying him use of that property, but if I
take a picture of it, than he's had no loss.

There are other ways to make money with plans other than hoping that
nobody in the world ever draw something similar or copy it. You can
sell support, by the hour, or per call, or manufacture key componants
needed to complete the kit, or simply be first to market.

Most people in the world have no concept of intellectual property.
The value of something is simply what you have to pay to get it, and
if there is a less expensive way to buy something, they'll do that. I
wish it wasn't true, and I wish I didn't have to have locks on my
doors, but thats world we live in. Best bet is to accept this and
work accordingly. As an engineer, most of my work product is simply
designs or ideas, and I realize my value is that the ideas can be made
into physical objects that people trade for money. My company pays me
good money to do that design for them, but they give me nothing if
they use it more than once. I understand thats the deal, and it works
out okay.

Okay, now I get you. I meant to say that somebody should post the
plans for a "Long EZ like" plane- The Extended E-ZEE. It just happens
to also be a tandem seat canard of composite construction much like a
lot of other copies of that ubiquitous airplane. Information needs to
be free. [beware, troll ahead] We have to get away from business
models that depend on the enforcement of unenforceable laws, if forces
business people into bed with law-makers (politicians).



BULL ****! TOTAL BULL ****!

Law or no law, you should have no rights to intellectual property any more than
you have a right to take a pesons car. Making a copy of the planes and calling
it something else is no less theft than stealing his car. Those plans are NOT
information, they are the results of somebodys work and as such deserve
protection and compensation. Would you work for free? I doubt it but even if
you do, would you accept being forced to do so?
