fixitrod Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 BenBB, that is a copyright infringement. Just because you didn't post it with the copyright office doesn't mean it's not a copyright. If you could prove the date it was written, it's his ass. You cannot copy something someone else has and make and sell it without there permission. I have heard of people having something notorized for the purpose of proving the date. In the event someone would copy it, it would be there butt. I'd email him and tell him he owes you the profit. Then you could send it back to blue. By the time everythings paid for to get it back to him he'll probably get about $.49. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 The auction I looked at was not closed. I just sent him an email myself. BenBB, I tried to access your web page and it says I'm not authorized... ***Edit*** The auction was ended. I was looking at it wrong. I still emailed him.

BenBB Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 That's what I was thinkin' fixitrod, just because it's not marked as such, anything written is copyrighted by the author (although the rights may be limited without the little "c", the date and author name). If it's in the public domain you can do what you want with it (save it, give it away, etc.) but when you try to sell it that's infringement... Either this fool has some skilz or my ISP is ganked (more likely), you can still access my site here: www.dfn.com/benkaren/index.html ...and the jetting FAQ where it's always been: www.dfn.com/benkaren/jetfaq.html I'll check with my ISP tomorrow...

BenBB Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 BTW if you look at the source html in the jet faq it lists my name as the author and the date it was created, whatever that's worth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 BenBB, my statement above is partially incorrect. I'll pm you the copyright law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

400grl Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 BenBB - this sucks!!! I will give the little turd a piece of my mind as well........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenr74 Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 I wrote him and told him what I thought and didn't get a response. His email address looks like he is from Bend, Oregon. If somebody has bought something from him they could get his real address through eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Duece Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 ive havnt looked, did this little f*ck really relist bens FAQ?......ill chase this cocksucker around ebay all fuckin day, i work with publishing companies all the time im going to find out what the law is, ebay might over look it, and im sure a music orgainization wont touch it but like Rod said theres copywrite laws that do cover printed matter, im working on a chassis/suspension FAQ like bens jetting tutorial, if some prick jacks it and tries to make cash from it, i will pay to track him down and make his broke ass, wish he hadnt, and i still think if you were to buy this punks CD youd find a bonus banshee calender of all bens pics as well, Benny spent alot of his time making that jetting guide for us we should all show our apriciation and try and stop this theif from profiting off bens hard work......
