My first post in this thread was made directly after one by casamerica, which unfortunately is now deleted. It refered to the 'Andromeda Jacket' issue in clear and strong terms, and I was agreeing with it and adding my thoughts. My post does look a little nakedly out of context as things now appear.<<< PJF, my apologies for the confusion my deletion caused. I deleted my posts since it was becoming apparent that the, as you put it, "...clear and strong terms..." I was sharing was being regarded as "silly", over-reacting and fear-mongering. The first time I ever saw trying to save some friends and good people pain from honest mistakes described as such, but, what the hell. It wasn't the first time on this subject, but, I decided it would be the last. I have the impression that I am one of the few here who has the luxury of constant legal advise handy. I have an attorney on retainer. After more than a few years in writing, film, video and now multimedia work of one kind or another for more years than I wish to disclose, I learned it was needed. It doesn't make me a legal expert, but, it has given me access to answers, information and legal precedence. And that access shows me that there are certain items being offered that are just lawsuits waiting to be filed. The "Andromeda Jacket" was simply the most recent and, perhaps, the easiest since it is, for all practical purposes, an open and shut case based on legal precedence. If you created a model for sale and offered it as "Darth Vader's Tie Fighter," do you really think that if it came to the attention of Mr. Lucas he would just brush it off? Or made a model and sold it as "Babylon 5 Space Station," that AOL-Time-Warner wouldn't be calling? Same thing with the "Andromeda Jacket" and a few other items. Anyway, so much for that. Again, I truly apologize for the confusion my deletion caused. I did not want to cause confusion. But there comes a time when people just do not seem to want to hear the truth that you just say, "Okay, to hell with it then." This was one of those times. Take care and Godspeed.
