Miffed over my massage table plans
Years ago I put up a web page http://BillPentz.com/massage that shares out my detailed plans to build a really top of the line massage table. That page was copyrighted, meaning individuals are welcome to build for their own use, but must contact me to build or sell for a profit. Today I received word from a person who said she has been wanting to buy a copy of massage table plans from Jandelgifts of Australia off eBay for a while. She chose to see if there were any less expensive plans available and discovered that mine are the same as being sold on eBay (Item number: 5507326294).
Complaining to the appropriate government agency is like getting a rock to dance in terms of finding out who needs what notification. Ditto with eBay who will not even accept a complaint unless I first buy a copy of my own plans. I am already going through the same with my http://BillPentz.com/cyclone plans as a number of folks have not only begun making cyclones from my plans for sale, a few have actually made 100% copies of my Cyclone and Dust Collection research pages and put them on their own sites. Sometimes I wonder what this world is coming to.
