Pete,

I don't think Rob is attacking John directly. He might be in a weak position to assert his rights over material published on the internet, which to my knowledge, is a huge gray area.

At this point, it comes down more to ethics. John did republish another's images. I'm not outright calling John unethical, though, since he really is only using the information for his own use; in the process of building a Laughing Loon boat. If he was using the images for personal gain (which he's not), I would call that highly unethical, regardless of how the law reads.

In all fairness, I think Rob's previous post was purely factual. Jim attributed the usage of another's image to "theft, plain and simple".

Apologies to John who posted in good faith, and whom I'm sure didn't intend to slight anyone. This discussion has digressed to a more philosophical nature, but John's name has unfortunately still been involved.

Let's keep things civil.
