Title: What are the legalities of posting some of the content of the book's CD?
Post by: TheBrokentoken on August 04, 2006, 03:29:08 pm

Saint - first of all - many thanks for writing this book.  Without it, I probably never would have gotten into this wonderful hobby.  The book has definitely allowed me to go farther faster.

As such, I am in the process of building my project website (I'll soon be submitting it to the BYOAC) and I'm curious as to whether or not I can repost some pics or cabinet plans or templates on my own site that are on the book's CD.  I wanted to check here before I did anything.  I certainly don't want to violate the spirit of the hobby or the community if the content is protected.

Thanks!!

I do not own the copyright to any of it - it's either the property of the original authors who let me use it, or what's originally mine is owned by the publisher. What specifically did you want to post?

Hey Saint, thanks for the reply.  I was mainly just going to post a couple of the controller templates.  I've been building my cabinet off of a somewhat-customized version of the Lusid plans, and wanted to make sure I wouldn't be violating any stipulations if I were to post these files in reference to my build blog.  Thanks!
