Copyright issues

> I have no idea what you see as a problem.

 

The problem I see is that the author of the ME article is claiming the work as his own and not giving the credit to Bogs where it’s due.

The editor of ME should not have knowingly allowed this deceit to happen.

Bogs deserves all the credit and the article should have made  very clear to any reader that the author was not the engineer responsible for the work described in the article.

Hi There

As the article was a series of posts, I had to edit heavily.

Perhaps my edits inadvertantly changed the context and biased towards Roy doing the rebuild rather than John.

 

If so this was unintentional.

 

Yes, the bit about the thread self destructing was a joke.

 

Page rate is £50 per printed page as it appears in the magazine.

 

The payment to Roy was made as we only pay one contributor. I think Roy said payment would be sorted out. I certainly would have asked about payment being made to a third party in this situation before printing.

My basic wrangle had /has nothing to do with money David, that’s down to the conscience of the submitter, it’s the fact that the right guy gets the praise for the work done. In the work enviroment, the guys with the biggest gobs always get the praise while the “Indians” (as in cowboys and) get on with it and let the “Chiefs” do the squawking, but to allow this to happen in leisure activities is “A bit thin”.

 

  As we are well aware of the sin of Copyright, I give the following (Spullt correctly)

 

  Plagiarise :- ” to steal from the writings or ideas of others”

 

  Fits, caps and wear springs to mind.

 

  Regards  Ian.

Hi There

I will be quite happy to print a who done what paragraph in Model Engineer.

Hopefully the two people concerned can agree on the wording.

regards david

It seems that this has blown up out of all proportions.

 

There is no issue over payments, I never expected any when I gave permission, but if anything is due, then just make it payable to Christies Hospital in Manchester, a registered charity,  and send it there. They are the ones who saved my wife’s life over last Christmas.

 

The only issues I ever have is if someone uses my material for personal profit. Which in my eyes occured when the boat was offered for sale with a full write up of work done on the engine.

 

So please, let it drop
