A member here has been offering vehicle templates for 1/6 vehicles recently. Some of you may have noticed all the threads related to these rather abruptly disappeared. There is a very good reason for this, that all members need to be aware of.
The templates involved are scaled up versions of paper model booklets, which are copyrighted by their manufacturers. Scaling them and reselling them presents a clear copyright infringement issue, and I asked the person advertising them here to cease doing so, to which he agreed.
Allowing this would be a violation of ezboard's terms of use, and could result in trouble for the board up to and including getting it totally locked down, so I have no choice but to take action on this.
The current problem is that even though the original person has stopped, other members continue to discuss his "products" here. I had to remove several posts this morning for just this reason.
I am asking that all discussion of this subject here be dropped immediately. If people cannot abide by that, I may have to restrict their posting privledges, which I prefer not to do.
What you do elsewhere is between you, your conscience, and the copyright holder's lawyers, but I have to be responsible for seeing what occurs here remains legal, and I will do what is required to ensure this happens.
