look at that.

Hi Juergen,

I think you may need to protect your work a bit more. I know
you do all this just for pure pleasure and for love for synthesizer
electronics, but maybe it's time to protect your interests a bit better
and profit from your work yourself instead of letting others harvest
the fruits. 

Would it be an idea to publish your circuits through a publisher?
Write an article or a series of articles for an electronics magazine,
but take care you keep the rights to your work. (Often those rights
get transferred to the publisher.) It would be a more official 
publication than a web page, and you could profit from the copyright
protection a publisher offers.

And money isn't a dirty word either. I think :-)

Cheers,

Rick Jansen
