<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2170088, member: 36230"]With all due respect, it is just pitiful how quick you are, when the shoe is on the other foot, to turn against your own reasoning. This continued deflection, if anything, has proven beyond all doubt that what it all boils down to is your willingness to exploit a debatable technicality. Perhaps, if you simply had the decency to give credit where it is due, even if in a circuitous way, you wouldn't need to defend your, ahem, "work" as much as you presently do. Morally, a copyright (in this case) should not matter, nor should it that these men are long dead; their work and contributions are their legacy and they do not deserve to be robbed of it all for your personal gain, just as you've shown you do not wish to be robbed of yours. I am sorry, but the notion that you produce the "overstrikes" only for the benefit of collectors rings sadly hollow. For all sense and purposes, you've done nothing more than steal artistically superior designs, and against all reason and common sense, claim them as your own. Yet, when the designs are yours, watch out... they are not simple copies, or "fantasies" inspired by your own, but fakes even though most are futher away from your originals than the "over-strikes" are of theirs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
