I didn't post the copyright information to start a war or make a personal 
attack on anyone. 

10 minutes of research on the internet and then believing what you read is 
legal regarding copyright usage will sooner or later get you inextricably mired 
down with copyright attorneys. I'm not a copyright attorney. But I employ one 
to handle our needs.

Internet usage is a slippery slope. Fair Use most commonly pertains to certain, 
limited parts of an article reprinted in a review, not the entire article being 
reproduced. That is not Fair Use.

The only people Railway Age might pursue would be Mark and Dave. Everyone else 
skates away.

I only posted the information to illuminate the popular misconceptions about 
fair use and public domain. I did that because Railway Age/Progressive 
Railroading are very protective of their copyrighted material. The material 
they published is an asset of their corporation. To use it without permission 
is stealing, like it or not.

So if you are offended by the rules, fine. Do whatever you want. 

If you are industrious, call Simmons-Boardman. Ask them about this specific 
article, its intended use and then ask them to send you a letter authorizing 
the use. Upload the letter to the list.

Remember the U.P. licensing fiasco. If these guys think they can make a buck 
they will. They hire outside companies that do nothing but troll the internet 
using sophisticated search engines to look. Then they send a letter and an 
invoice.

So who pays when everyone else skates away? Mark and Dave.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I have pulled the file. If anyone wants to read 
the article, e-mail me and I'll send it to you.
