But can we still get the glue? That's the best part about model building, IMHO. ;)

The B-17 was designed under government contract. *That* puts it in the public domain. I'm sorry if these concepts are too difficult for you.
To: pabianice
Such a sorry and wasteful loss to the children of today. For these shortsighted corporate lawyers to eliminate 'real-scale' models from our children's shelves is a travesty...
I've gone out of my way to try and purchase "REAL" toys not these strange bubble shaped plastic crap they have for kids today...
Time to buy up the old stock i guess!

This is a cryin' frickin' shame! I'm starting to get my son (who prefers aircraft) interested in models, and now these b******s want royalties too boot!
I'll get him into armor (my preference) instead!
Cheers!

Let's see, I'm no actuary, but seems to me that demanding X+Y royalties on 0 sales rather than X royalties on N sales will not help you "maximize intellectual property income" in the first place."We lose money on every unit, but we make it up in volume!"

To: BigBobber
This is what happens when all of the normal income-producing jobs and manufacturing are sent to India, et al. Companies run out of ways to make money, so they get greedy in other areas, such as intellectual property.
Thanks unions, gov. regulations, EEO laws, gov. taxes, and liberal lawyers.

*What* do they have to lose?Because they appear to have not made attempts to protect trademarks, copyrights and patents for decades, they are at serious risk of losing them.

I never addressed anything about the public domain.
Ye gods. THIS WHOLE THREAD is about designs in the public domain.So in others words, you can't cite the post because you made it up.
I made one comment to one person, a liberal who expressed distaste for business because they were greedy.
In other words, you didn't read the posts. You just jumped right in in your childish way because you have been embarrassed on every thread you have been on with me. You, son, are a light weight.
And this DU stuff is as childish as it gets. Particularly for a new poster. grow up, and go away newbie.

This is really a sad day. Then again, I know of people who would be a okay with this and view it simply as another "review stream." They would say that the problem is not theirs, but the people who build the models. This represents everything thats WRONG with American business.

You play with little toy B 17s. My uncle flew one and paid with his life so little turds like you could cry like babies over your little hobbies. Go take a econ class dopey.

I made one comment to one person, a liberal who expressed distaste for business because they were greedy. Protagoras said that there is no essential truth, but I don't think he ever condoned lying.

ERRRR. Wrong. But interestingly, you also posted to this same person: "I know you're not a liberal since you are on this site." So. At what point were you lying?
> expressed distaste for business because they were greedy.
So only liberals find greed distasteful?
> You, son, are a light weight.
Unlike you, I know the topic.

> turds like you could cry like babies over your little hobbies.
That about sums up your level of dsicourse.
