Subject: Re[4]: 1995 Toyota Celica model needed
Sender: [e-mail]
Precedence: bulk



just another penny to make my full 2-cents worth:

        IF a picture of a picture is illegal

                then
        A 3d-scan of a 3d-object should be illegal

        since a picture of a picture is a 2-d scan of 2-d object!

My original posting was based on the assumption that the model was being
"laser scanned".

I dunno, I see so many articles that have people-shapes and things in them
and say "wow", until i realized that they have been scanned. Granted, the
next effect is the same, you get the $$$ for the delivery. I have been there
two. But a laser scanned object compared to a "hand drawn" model is like
comparing a sculpture that has been made by pouring plaster into a rubber
mold, to one made with one's fingers out of clay.

By I digress. i turned a copyright chat into an art thread. (WHat was
the subject???? <GRIN>)

wow, is that how it works? I'm new at this, but I thought the rights
go to whomever made the model you are digitizing.
Example: If I snap a picture of the lone Cyprus Tree, I am not allowed
to sell the picture.

Wrong; You are not allowed to copy an object in such a way that it would
"compete" with the original model. However if you take a picture of say one a
matchbox car that picture would not "compete" with the original model. a
picture of a painting would be an entirly different thing. Notice: a lot of
copyright infringement suits are civil and therefore there are no cut and dry
ways about how the law is interpreted. It really depends on the mood of a jury.
As far as I know there is no jurisprudence for digitizing into 3D a commodity
(doorknob, paperclip etc...) I don't think a matchbox model scanned in would
fall under the any different restrictions. Let's face it a 3D model does not
really cmpete with the actual object. (I can see a real discussion heating up
here: what about digitized sculptures etc...?)

Hi-Lo
