Who's Stealing My Stuff Today?
Despite the very clear copyright notices on this site, unscrupulous fools
are still stealing material from this website -- and possibly even from the
CDROMs I make.
There is at least one, and possibly other CDROMs out there which contain unauthorized copies of information from this website and others.
One purchaser of such a CDROM (who claims he wasn't aware that the material had been pirated) came to my attention after several people reported this eBay auction was carrying pictures of my Jet-kart.
I've been in touch with the person concerned and he said that the auction was simply an attempt to resell a couple of CDs he bought in good faith from someone calling themselves Candice Wilson whose email address is candysc@sc.rr.com.
I'm following up on this and will take action as necessary to protect my rights.

Why So Tough?
Just in case you think I'm a bit tough in protecting my intellectual property
rights I should point out that this site represents many hours of hard work
which I'm happy to share with the Internet community but which I do not wish
to give away.
I would consider it rather unfair if others took my work and chose to make money from it (either by compiling into a CD or by placing it on their own website and drawing traffic for advertisers).
I hope you understand therefore why I'm prepared to enforce my copyright through the courts if necessary and am prepared to share any damages I might obtain from such court action if/when successful.
