It's sure taken a long time (nearly 2 years) for this Yorke fella to notice what zues did, so it can't have made that big a dent in his "way to make a living". 
Big screams about nothing if you ask me. :hehe:
Still, I suppose that's normal for the current U.S. sue anyone for anything culture.

Ditto? Methinks that there probably is some sue-over-little-stuff here in the U. S., with some stuff.

Tempest in a tea pot here. A pic posted on the internet with no obvious copyright notification attached to it that was used to promote something and your gonna throw a fit because someone else posted it... Please.
If you feel inclined to waste your money and make a fool of yourself, please do... and record it, the rest of us need a good laugh. The Judge would have to jail 95% of the people on the internet if this was possible.
When I went to see my lawyer friend today for lunch, I related this to him... he almost spit his coffee out nose... and laughed so hard he nearly fell over.

Hi Everybody.
I think it's time all posters got some logic into this thread. I am not sure what the motives of the opening poster are or where at the time of posting but he/she has not entered into the debate since my third posting earlier this afternoon.
As I stated, action through the civil courts from my working experience is almost always a very expensive and a protracted activity. Action against the 14-year-old person I would feel would only reward the solicitors and lawyers involved. Therefore I feel we can discount anything along those lines unless the opening poster has very deep pockets.
The thread was then diverted by a poster who continuously criticizes Auran/NV3 and the DLS at every opportunity he feels given to him. He also with every posting asks for respect from members replying to his posts and yet at the same time often refers to other members with differing opinions to his own as praetorian guards or naïve. I would ask members to consider whether this is the actions of a person who deserves the respect he asks for.
Therefore, my feelings are that those of us who have genuine interest in Trainz and our hobby should not be diverted by an element of members on the forum who seem to engage in nothing else but encouraging disruption and argument. Obviously some seem incapable of moving forward from the argument of the past.
However, the Trainz management have decided the policy and it is now in place. Therefore it is for every member either to accept that or to consider moving on to the websites, forums and offerings of the " third party guild". For on this site everyone is well aware of all the arguments laid out in the past few months, they are now over and as stated, the policy made and carried out.
Let all of us therefore move on

Final word on this subject
Let me clear up a few points here for those of you that do not understand from where I come. This is not a hobby for me. It is a business. My only business. This is how I make a living. Yes, it has taken two years for me to catch this post. I hadn't heard about this site until a few days ago. I joined and while looking around I found the post. Do all of you monitor every site on the Internet? No? Why not?
I am well aware that the poster was only 14 years old at the time. I do not wish to sue him or his family. He made an honest mistake. All I want is to have the offending post removed. This is a crime? And, yes, I am the holder of the copyright and it is so posted on the inside cover of the volume in question.
I do not wish to make this drag on. I just would like the post removed. Is that so hard?

Hi everybody.
First post from tomyorke
Last post from tomyorke
With every respect tomyorke there seems to be a very big difference between your first posting on the forum and the latest one copied above. Had your first posting being in the manner of your latest one I believe you would have received a much better response from the forum members than you did receive.
It appeared in your first posting by bringing and the subject of other possible copyright infringements other than your own you were threatening the freedom of the forum members to exercise their views on numerous topics.
Also by threatening legal action against the 14-year-old person I am sure you are now aware that such statements attract little sympathy in an environment such as this. However, the forum is a place where everything (well almost everything) is easily forgiven and forgotten so can I suggest that you take the advice of amicooke(s) above posting and contact the forum owners to have the offending material removed.
I hope you have a far more pleasant experience when posting in the future.

Since it is hot linked the easiest way would be to block hot linking of images from the server you host it on, if it's not your server ask the admin of it to do it it is a really simple procedure...
Then you wont have to "ask" someone to take it down or write forum posts trying to gain support you can "remove it" yourself and prevent any further use of it except by you...
Seems to me though if you were really so bent about copyrights you would have done that already but since you haven't leads me to believe that you are like someone who leaves their car unlocked and running while they just go in the store for a minute and then complain when the car gets stolen...:hehe:
So why did you not contact the owners of the forum direct rather than boring us with your pompous and aggressive attack on a 14 year old? And two years out of date!

PS. What does the 'A' stand for as if we couldn't guess!

Wouldn't it have be far simpler to have just put a reply in "zues" 2 year old thread saying; "no" sorry zues, no one can convert my MSTS mallet to trainz because it is my payware for MSTS. I created it and I own the copyrights. I don't give anyone permission to do anything with it !!! - (Instead of all this BS about you loosing your lively-hood & threatening to suing this 14 yo, etc, etc)...
Personally I don't see a problem in Austin posting a picture of "your" mallet in his thread. That's all he has done, "posted" a picture which is out there in the public domain anyway...
If I was you, (& thank _hrist I'm not) I would have posted in his thread that the loco is your MSTS payware, and if anyone wants to buy it for MSTS, then here's a link to my web site so that you can purchase it... Oh, and while your on my site, have a look at all the other MSTS payware that I've created & selling... (H_ll, you could have made millions from the free publicity)... :hehe:
You could have also simply stated, that because you own the copyrights, the loco can't be converted from MSTS format to Trainz. Full stop !!!
Pretty simple really. It would have saved all this BS...
Respectfully, Mac...
