It would be great if all could do this.
From Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket
Give a little whistle........Always let your conscience be your guide
Now the irony is guys, the Picture is protected under Copyright Law.
But I needed to express a point very few would see as relivant. So my hands are up yes I did use it without permission ,but all can see it was not for any gain that I might expect to receive.So if asked
of course I will remove it.
The Activity Begins_________________you might know of it well.
Someone out there is very busy cutting up toy figures,sticking up differing poses from the originals, Making moulds,and casting them up in molten white metal. "Gosh! burn`t myself again." He declares to himself, and those in range enough to hear it. Lets call him Mr ? shall we?
A tap on his shoulder
"Hello Jiminy,"______" Hi Mr ?, do you have permission to do that?"
"Doing what Jiminy?"____________" Recasting ?"_______ "Not really Jiminy."______"Well that's not legal to do such a thing.So have you got anything to say about your activity?" Jiminy asked Mr ?, half expecting that there would be total silence upon the matter.
However there was not ,and Mr ?, replies.
"I make them up into special figures much better than they were before,They are for my own use, and also I sell them too,but I`m no Pirate! Mr?, replied to Jiminy`s question. ____ " You certainly are an Artist Mr ? So why not sculpt your very own figures from start to finish. I can clearly see that you could." Jiminy ask`s him._____ " Oh I`m far to busy working my day job and have a family to support as well. However in 10 or 20 years of learning I might be able to."
" So in the mean time I`ll continue to make them for my own use and I`ll sell them too.But I`m no Pirate.
Jiminy Cricket,shrugs his shoulders and disappears.
The moral is Mr? has no conscience at all upon the subject of Copyright Law.
The Wheel of Time Turns
So 20 years from now he makes his first figures from their heads down to the metal base the feet stand upon. "Oh my I`m going to get rich producing these", he declares to everyone.
Jiminy Cricket see`s Mr ?,upon his way to somewhere very important.
Hello Mr ?,where are you off to with your face so full of smiles?"
____" Hello Jiminy,I`m off to get Copyright protection upon my new figures."
___" But what for Mr?,Jiminy Cricket asked in puzzled wonderment while scratching his head.
____ "Pirates Jiminy,No one is going to rip my work off"
They are on the Forum,
and no brush upon a new set up Pirate page is going to sweep then off because opinion seems to rule. BB
