Re Bernie Hutchins, copyright etc

I bought the full EN package a couple of years ago.  It arrived within a 
month of sending the cheque.  Coincidentaly I sent the cheque "recorded 
delivery".

With regard to copyright I was under the impression that the copyright 
remained the authors eg BH can not own the copyright of say an EMU module 
whose circuit was disclosed in EN.

The internet should be about free interchange of ideas and information, 
 however non original material should be atributed.  Attribution has the 
benefit of  enabling the "viewer"  to search for more information.  Seeing 
some of the EN stuff on the web was what finally persuaded me to buy the 
stuff (15 years after reading an EN article in a SSM applications book).

So Bernie, lighten up  you had at least one sale from 'someone' posting 
'your' material on the web

PS Thanks for mentioning that great band Gentle Giant Juergen.  Kerry 
Minnear (the keyboards player) has been "ripped off" a few times by 
companies producing CD's  without paying royalties to the copyright owner 
(i.e. him).
