I just had a fifty-millionth look at the compared lighting sets and there are more than ONE similarity. Look outside of the red boxes, there are a lot of rotation settings that are identical and a cooincidence of 0.15 and 0.16 is just a tad bit weird at best. Most of the numbers are aproximately one off. (In some cases changed from .477 to .577 or such.) Other than the fact that most of the light settings has the identical number of lights (and the same, if not unnoticeably different color settings) I spoke to one of my design professors at school right after I saw the entire string and we tried looking into it further, but couldn't get BeBops set to open on the G4's down at school. The one thing that my professor did say, was that it WAS in fact copyright infringement. We discussed this with the class (which just so happens to be Graphic Design Professional Practices and Advanced Problems for those interested) and came to the conclusion through research and digging through copyright books that "All intelectual property is copyrighted at the original time of creation by the original creator." In lamen's terms "Dude, that's F***ING wrong." The dials themselves are not copyrighted, BUT the specific settings within the dials and combinations of settings IS in fact copyrighted to BlackHearted (which is obviously his due to the orignal date of the readme file. C'mon, We all know what month and year comes first) If you'd like to flame or debate me on the issue, e-mail me, go ahead. I could care less. It's the same issue with creating an origial piece of artwork out of pixles and meshes that belong to someone else. You own the copyright to the IMAGE created with settings, the WHOLE, not the parts.
