The dogs bark, the donkeys bray, the camels grunt and the mole continues
to work on turning his little home into a mountain....as the caravan moves on.

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.
